BA Music
What will I study?
The programme provides for a wide-ranging, intellectually and creatively stimulating exploration of music, progressing to a greater degree of specialisation at levels 2 and 3. The main strands of musical study – performance, composition, music theory, music technology and historical and critical studies – are covered, alongside other subjects such as the psychology of music. In the final year you will complete a dissertation on a subject of your choice.
