This is the 4 year course which includes a Professional Placement Year. Create music with and for other people, and pursue your unique interests with our Music degree. - Join a community of musicians – you'll work closely with staff, students and distinguished industry guests. - Experience a wealth of contemporary genres – from classical music to jazz, musical theatre, opera and world music. - Gain the skills you'll need to pursue a modern music career in education, community music, performance and more. Music at Bath Spa is varied, creative and contemporary. This is a practical, busy Music course, with weekly performances throughout the year (both students and visiting professionals). You’ll devise, sing and play in a wide variety of styles, and have the opportunity to collaborate with students from other courses across the University. As part of the course, you'll be able to join a wide range of groups and ensembles such as orchestras, choirs, bands and world music groups including our own Javanese Gamelan. As a Bath Spa Music student, you'll be part of Bath School of Music and Performing Arts. Based at the Michael Tippett Centre, you'll have access to a range of purpose-built facilities, and you'll be part of Bath Spa Productions, which organises events throughout the year including SparkFest – part of Bath International Music Festival. All this gives you valuable experience that you can demonstrate to potential employers and take with you into your future career. **More about the Professional Placement Year** A Professional Placement Year (PPY), traditionally known as a sandwich year, is where a student undertakes a period of work with an external organisation for between 9-13 months. The placement occurs between the students' second and third years of undergraduate study. Students can engage in up to 3 placements to make up the total time and are required to source the placement(s) themselves with support from the Careers & Employability Team.

In Year 1 you’ll study performance, including weekly one-to-one instrumental/vocal lessons, composition in a wide range of styles and genres, music technology in industry standard labs, world music lectures and practical workshops, musicology lectures and seminars, research and study skills. In Year 2 we emphasise employability skills in music teaching, music management and promotion and the industry generally. There is also the opportunity to undertake a placement in a music organisation of your choice. You’ll also take on optional modules as you specialise in your areas of particular strength and interest. Finally, in Year 3 you have more freedom for creative output in specialisms such as performance, opera and musical theatre, composition, creative projects you design, community music projects and experimental work in music psychology together with the choice of a range of supporting modules. Please refer to our website for more information.

You’ll be assessed through coursework, including creative artefacts, written and spoken presentations, and through practical assessments such as recitals and public ensemble performances.
