Music

Music is an incredibly rich and diverse subject. It is:

* a creative and aesthetic practice

* a social and cultural phenomenon

* studiable as a scientific object

Our BMus programme embraces this disciplinary breadth.

Initially, you will develop your creative musical skills and acquire the tools to engage critically with a variety of musical repertoires and media.

You will also:

* study how music is shaped by (and shapes) the social, cultural, historical, and political environments in which it is produced

* be introduced to the psychology of music and its potential therapeutic effects

A flexible programme

The BMus programme is flexible and welcomes students from different backgrounds and musical experiences. It is designed so that you can tailor a pathway that best suits your musical interests and strengths.

For example, you can decide to:

* focus on the cultural, sociological, and historical contexts of music

* specialise in composition and/or performance

* focus entirely on studying music courses

* study a mix of music courses and courses from subjects outside of music

Bursary Students taking performance receive an annual bursary for instrumental tuition.
