Course Overview
Our BA Music degree is a broad-based course combining theory and practice in a wide range of genres and styles.
As a performer, composer/arranger, and musicologist, you will encounter an eclectic repertoire – not just the established ‘canon’ of art music, but the music of different cultures and traditions, past and present. You’ll have the chance to meet and talk to an impressive variety of creative practitioners – some as part of our teaching team, others our fellow professionals – and make music in some of the finest spaces in the country, including purpose-built studios, theatre spaces, and Canterbury Cathedral.
The BA Music course prepares you for a career as a performer, scholar, composer, and well-rounded creative musician. Graduates have, for example, frequently gone on to work as freelance performers, to pursue postgraduate study and gain teaching certification. For anyone planning on a career in primary or secondary education, for example, a BA in Music creates an ideal foundation by developing strong and transferable skills in group work, critical thinking, independent learning, and a desire to share your enthusiasm with others.
