Doctoral studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama
focus specifically on research relating to performance or
composition. Your own musical practice should be integral to your
research and you will have the opportunity to include performance
in the outcome, although the nature and extent of this will vary as
appropriate to the specific area of research.
People wishing to focus on composition as the basis for their
studies will develop a portfolio of about eight substantial and
contrasting works supported by a written analytic and aesthetic
commentary.
Contact the admissions team directly to arrange to discuss your
ideas further, and to receive help and advice in writing a research
proposal.
