University Composition Fee payments by publicly-funded undergraduates: Notice19 November 2012The Council is putting forward a Grace to amend the regulations for University Composition Fees (Grace 1, p. 145).

Popular music and globalizationThe examination will consist of two elements: the submission of a written research portfolio (including synopsis, ethnographic research essay, ethics review materials, and ethnographic permission form), and a two-hour written examination. The research portfolio counts as one third of the overall mark, and the exam element counts as two thirds of the overall mark. The two-hour examination will comprise two responses from a broader choice of questions.

Submission of title, synopsis, and ethical review form for approvalThe title of the research portfolio must be submitted to the Chairman of Examiners so as to arrive not later than the division of the Michaelmas Term preceding the examination. Accompanying the title should be a 200-word synopsis of the research essay and the Faculty of Music’s ethical review form.


Submission of the portfolioThe ethnographic research essay (which should be between 3,000 and 3,500 words in length, including footnotes but excluding bibliography and appendices) will describe and theorize global musical influences upon a local musical community chosen by the student and approved by the instructor. The submission is made in two stages, by the following deadlines:

1. Friday, 22 February 2013: candidates submit, in hard copy, the supplementary materials associated with the essay, including all ethnographic permission forms and primary source materials. Essays can be accepted for marking only after satisfactory submission of the complete supplementary materials.

2. Friday, 8 March 2013: candidates submit the research essay in hard copy and in electronic form.
