Course Overview

This three-year Contemporary and Popular Music degree focuses on a range of music and approaches, from acoustic singer-songwriting to experimental electronic forms, and from ethnomusicology to cultural theory. You'll grow as an accomplished musician while developing your creativity and critical thinking. While you may choose to specialize in contemporary and popular music, the beauty of music at Newcastle University is that we offer a broad musical education so you can also take modules from the world, classical, and folk, and traditional music. Youll study a range of historical, theoretical, and cultural topics such as: analyzing music; music history; Indian music; DJing and turntablism; composition; and music, politics, and policy. You'll receive one-on-one tuition and group lessons from our performance tutors, who are experts in their craft.
