The Faculty of Music lies at the heart of a vast network of musical study, research and practice at Cambridge.

As a highly-rated research centre, our areas of expertise include medieval and renaissance music, nineteenth-century music, opera, performance studies, popular music and scientific approaches to music.

Through its dynamic undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, the Faculty provides an inspiring environment for students seeking a practical, scholarly, and creative engagement with music. It supports their growth as musicologists, performers, and composers, encouraging both academic excellence and artistic innovation. The Faculty is home to a vibrant community of leading academics whose contributions to interdisciplinary research and the wider cultural understanding of music continue to shape scholarship and performance on a global scale.

The Faculty of Music gratefully welcomes support for its general funds and its holistic activities for music and musical culture across the University.
