Course Summary

This joint honours degree combines a full course in music with the study of Spanish language, literature and culture, providing you with a valuable skill set that is ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace. Music offers a broad range of units in musicology, composition and performance, across diverse styles and genres. These are complemented by weekly concerts, regular masterclasses and performances in the department, and opportunities to get involved in the dynamic music scene in Bristol. Spanish is the second most widely spoken European language in the world and is the second language of the US. Studying a modern language in the context of its speakers' history, literature, experience and outlook can broaden horizons and challenge preconceptions, including those about one's own language and country. You will spend your third year abroad in a Spanish-speaking environment, which will enable you to refine your language skills and cultural knowledge.
