BA (Hons) Music

This programme develops an in-depth and critical historical understanding of classical music repertoires, cultures, and practices. Some modules are practical, concerned with musical performance, composition and orchestration, or creative music technology, although none of these are compulsory. Others focus on classical music history topics or music theory. There are also options in areas such as music psychology, audio-visual media (films and video games), and vocational options. The remaining modules involve writing about music from a historical, critical, sociological, or philosophical viewpoint. Our studio and performance modules cater for both classical and popular musical styles.
