Course Summary

This dual honours History and Music degree allows you to pursue your creative and critical passions across two complementary disciplines. In History, you’ll cover past societies from the late Roman through to the modern period, addressing political, social and cultural themes. In your Music modules, you’ll study a diverse range of musical forms, including classical, pop, jazz, folk and world music, as well as optional modules in subjects such as music education, music technology and the music business. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop your performance and composition skills. You will be learning from academics and practitioners who are experts in their field, in departments that are innovators in terms of their research and public engagement. As a History and Music student, you will have the chance to undertake a work placement with a heritage or culture organisation, or to lead a lead a music project or workshop in a local school through our student-led volunteering organisation Music in the City. The academic aptitude and practical skills you will develop throughout your degree will give you a huge range of career options after university. As well as careers in teaching, archives, museums, journalism, the civil service, and the charity sector, our graduates have gone on to become composers, performers, music therapists and broadcasters.
