About the Team:

Staff within the Reid School of Music are recognised internationally for their work in a broad range of creative and scientific areas of music including composition, sociology of music, popular music, psychology of music, music and the moving image, music neuroscience, music informatics, community and therapeutic music making, musical acoustics and musical instrument research, as well as for scholarly work on renaissance vocal music, film music, twentieth century music and contemporary music. Recent graduates have included leading figures in the areas of composition, conducting, sound recording and music production, indie music, community music, advertising, and commercial applications of new technologies, as well as in teaching, research, and academic and scholarly work.

The Reid School of Music at Edinburgh University, formerly the Faculty of Music and now a School within the newly merged Edinburgh College of Art, was one of the very earliest to be established in the UK. The Reid Chair of Music was first set up in 1839 and has been held by Friedrich Niecks, Donald Francis Tovey, Kenneth Leighton and Nigel Osborne amongst others. The Faculty of Music was established in 1894 under Niecks, whose programme for the BMus was the first of its kind in the UK, forming the model for all subsequent degree programmes in music.

There are currently three four-year undergraduate honours degrees: the BMus and the BMus in Music Technology. The four-year course allows students to study a broad curriculum (the broadest in the UK) in the first two years, and to specialise in areas of their choice in the final two. Teaching is divided into three areas: compositional subjects, cultural and musicological subjects, and performance-related subjects. There is also a broad range of taught masters degrees and research degrees, including PhD in Composition and PhD in Creative Practice.
