Research in Music at Cambridge

Research in Music at Cambridge is renowned both nationally and internationally, as demonstrated in the results of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, in which 45 per cent of our submitted research was judged to be world-leading, with a further 40 per cent assessed as internationally excellent. Our activity falls into four main fields: historical musicology and music theory; musical composition; ethnomusicology; and music and science. The first two of these have been at the centre of the Faculty's intellectual and musical life throughout its history; the latter two have become prominent within the Faculty more recently, although they have both been of longstanding significance within the University. The Faculty supports graduate research in all these fields.
