Master’s Degrees in Music Worldwide

Every master’s-level award in the directory, grouped by its official title. MM, MMus, MA, MSc and other awards stay separate; Artist Diplomas and postgraduate diplomas are not master’s degrees and appear on the diploma page.

MM/MMus vs MABest master’s programsOnline master’sFunding

An MM or MMus in performance and an MA in musicology differ in admissions, length and what they lead to. Check each program rather than assuming equivalence.

2013 programs

How results are ordered: alphabetically by institution, or by most recently checked when you choose that sort. There is no price ranking, because tuition in different currencies, fee categories and bases (per year, per credit, whole program) is not comparable. A program appears under a subject only through a verified link (dedicated degree, major, concentration or documented pathway). A value we could not verify is shown as “not published”, never as “no”. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change verification or order. Online programs are not counted as physically located in a state or city, and an institution’s location does not tell you whether it enrols students from your country.
