[Emsan-l] Music doctorate in research and composition

[Battier Marc]

Announcement: 
Music doctorate in research and composition
Application call : May 19 - June 16 2014

This doctorate is organized in collaboration with the Paris-Sorbonne University, the Pierre et Marie Curie University (UMPC) and IRCAM.

Distinct from a doctorate in musicology, it is aimed at high-level composers, holders of a Master's degree (or of an equivalent diploma accompanied with significant experience in composition), proposing in particular projects integrating a technological dimension into the work of composition and wanting to pursue a training program both as composers and researchers. The diploma attests to the competence both as composer (attested by the works produced at the end of studies) and as a researcher via the presentation of a thesis.

Call and application at this address:
