One of the advantages of being a small university is that Rhodes has been a leader in interdisciplinary study – we have been pioneers in producing graduates who have done Music and Computer Science, Music and Physics, Music and Mathematics or Music and Journalism, for example.
The Music Department at Rhodes offers many exciting opportunities for post graduate study, and Rhodes is now accepting applications for 2013.
In addition to enjoying all of the advantages Rhodes Music Department has to offer (individual attention, inspiring environment, well resourced library, outstanding and committed staff), post graduate students can also make use of the Research Commons, a scholarly common room for senior postgraduate students and academics, supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. It is located on level 2 of the Rhodes University Library, beyond the Science Faculty hub, and is open, via access control, to academic and research staff, post doctoral students, and postgraduate students at master's and doctoral level.
Experienced library staff members are on hand to assist with users’ information needs and to arrange consultations with subject specialists as needed. The facility will be overseen by post-graduate student assistants after office hours. Facilities include high-end PCs, laptops for loan-use in the Research Commons, high-speed internet access, printer-copiers, and a scanner, as well as a consultation room/office and a seminar room.
