PHD in Music Composition - Distance Learning

[MusicPHD]

Hi all,

This is my first post on this forum even if regularly visit it.

So... A few things about me... I am a European citizen who holds a Masters in Music Composition from a US University with 3.9 GPA. I graduated last year but, unfortunately, wasn't able to continue my studies due to high costs.

My first priority is to pursue a PHD online. Do you know any online PHD program in Music Composition in the UK (I believe that there aren't any in the US)? I've done my research but couldn't find any! I definitely realize that meeting with the Composition professor is essential - However, I have had online sessions in the past and worked just fine. Moreover, it's my understanding that most UK programs focus on research and do not require course work. In addition, I could visit campus once per month. if necessary.

Thank you all!
