About Creative Production (Music), MA - at Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts and Technology

Pursue your chosen area of interest, desired specialisation or passion project through an iterative practice-based research approach in our Creative Production (Music) MA. Throughout this intense and rewarding production period filled with substantial creative work, you’ll be fully supported by workshops, guest sessions, seminars, individual mentoring and collaboration with a diverse group of peers.

Widen and deepen your frames of musical and conceptual reference, while exploring your own creative voice and artistic projects. Our seminars and workshops provide a thorough grounding in practice-led research methodology, alongside a wider range of research in sound, music and the arts.

The one-year (or two-year, part-time) course provides a clear but flexible framework for negotiated and self-directed learning. You’ll be introduced to a tried and tested approach to research that puts artistic production and performance front and centre. We’ll stimulate your curiosity, give you a set of tools with which to explore and develop your personal research ideas and concepts, empowering you to then apply those ideas using our industry-standard facilities.

Join an inspiring community of students from around the world who will act as mentors, peers, collaborators, audience and fellow travellers. With deep critical reflection and input from this truly international community, you’ll get to define or redefine the next chapter of your practice, whilst asking yourself this essential question: What will you use this time to create?
