What our students say: “The course made me realise that there is a lot more to music than performance, theory and composition.” – Kate Keyworth, BA (Hons) Music

In your first year, you’ll lay the foundations for an intelligent engagement with creative practice and the world of music through studies in developing musicianship, Western music tradition, the music of diverse cultures, composition and technology. You will be involved in group music activities designed to develop both your composition and performance skills, and some small and large group performances. In your second year, you’ll develop competency in your specialist area, for example, in performance, composition, ethnomusicology or technology. You’ll hone your critical research skills and reflective thinking, and further enrich them by studying the psychology of music (including music therapy). In your final year, you’ll gain more independence in your musical practice and analysis through a combination of taught sessions and tutor-led development of your own skills. With a wide range of opportunities available - including work-facing modules - you will locate your musicianship in one of the five specialist strands leading to exit awards in performance, composition, ethnomusicology, technology or an inclusive combination. The modules shown for this course or programme are those being studied by current students, or expected new modules. Modules are subject to change depending on year of entry.
