These three connected programmes provide students with flexible options for full-time learning, allowing them to stack these programmes over a number of years or to complete this programme consecutively over one year. Students can undertake the Post-Graduate Certificate in the Autumn semester either face-to-face, online or in a hybrid fashion. Students can then exit at the end of the Autumn Semester with the Certificate or continue their studies (on campus) in the spring semester where they can fulfil the requirements for the Postgraduate Diploma. If they wish, students can then progress to the summer semester to achieve the higher award of a Master of Arts in Irish Music Studies.These programmes draw upon considerable expertise from across the Academy’s wide range of disciplinary approaches, exploring and expanding ideas and sounds of what constitutes ‘Irish music’, from historical and contemporary perspectives. The Irish World Academy of Music and Dance has become a leading centre for the study of Irish traditional music in particular, and while this genre informs some of the content of this Masters, it is one of a number of Irish musical traditions that may be pursued as part of the programme. You are also encouraged to engage with the discourse through your own performancecompositional practice, if desired and where appropriate.
