REF confirms Cambridge's position as a leading centre of music research

The outcomes of the 2014 REF (Research Excellence Framework) have confirmed that the Cambridge Faculty of Music has one of the largest concentrations of high-quality music research in the country. The Faculty's submission included all aspects of our research – music history and analysis, popular and world music, composition, performance studies, and music and science – and it was ranked among the top three of all UK music departments in terms of the quality and amount of research.
