Below is some information on funding and study opportunities in electronic 
music at the University of Birmingham. We offer:

The chance to join a department which has been a leader in the field for over 
three decades.
Expertise in acousmatic composition, live-coding, mixed instrumental/electronic 
music, large-scale spatialisation, network music, SuperCollider development, 
non-standard synthesis, and phonology/soundscape composition
The opportunity to work with BEAST, our world-renowned concert system, capable 
of presenting electronic music in circa 100 discrete channels 
(http://www.beast.bham.ac.uk)
Access to amazing facilities in the £16 million Bramall Music Building:
Six cutting edge multichannel composition studios
The Dome Rehearsal Room, featuring the 30+ channel BEASTdome system

electronic music) space of its kind in a UK university
Throughout featuring bespoke acoustic design by Nick Edwards (Symphony Hall 
Birmingham, Symphony Centre Dallas, Royal Shakespeare Theatre)
Excellent equipment resources (recorders, microphones, etc.)
Opportunities to work with world class visiting performers (e.g. BCMG annually; 
Exaudi, Hermes, and Fidelio trio in recent years) and composers (e.g. Freida

Funding Opportunities

Birmingham is part of the Midlands3Cities AHRC doctoral training partnership, 
which offers up to full scholarships with a living allowance for UK and EU 
students, and opportunities for co-supervision across institutions in the 
consortium.

All applicants may apply for College of Arts and Law Scholarships and Music 
Department funding (applicants for M3C and College funding will be considered 
for the latter automatically), and there are some opportunities specifically 
for non-EU students and distance learning students.
