Have a look at: http://www.s2s2.org/content/view/13/66/ which lists a bunch of European universities involved in sound and music computing. There are also several universities doing music tech stuff in Britain (Edinburgh, York, London, Plymouth...) and Ireland (Belfast, Dublin, Limerick) which aren't mentioned there. [Plug:] I'm in Uni of Limerick and there is a group here doing "interaction design", often applied to music: http://www.idc.ul.ie/ Search scholar.google.com for the area you'd like to study (eg "audio human computer interaction", and note the author and institution names that appear on the papers! It is sometimes possible to get funding for a PhD, eg through an EU grant, and the best bet is to make contact with people you'd like to work with and see what they say. James
