The 2-year MPhil programmes (1-year in the case of MMus) are designed to bridge the gap between undergraduate and doctoral studies, and to prepare students for further advanced studies either locally or abroad. They are also stand-alone programmes that can equip graduates for careers as research associates, adjunct university teachers and professional composers.
The MPhil programmes are emphatically research-oriented, with the completion of a thesis/portfolio as the major degree requirement. In addition, students are required to take core and elective courses within their specialized fields and a foreign language (aside from English and Chinese) and IT competency are also required of students in selected fields. These requirements are specifically designed to help students lay the groundwork for carrying out up-to-date research in the field.
