Course summary

This Media and Music degree combines theory and practise, and examines the impact and influence of media and music on individuals and society. You will learn how they can be used separately or together to communicate different meaning, feeling and emotions. As a joint honours degree student, you will take half of your modules each year in both subjects.During the degree you will broaden your creative repertoire and encourage you to find new ways of self-expression. You will consider forms of media and music from various perspectives – culturally, historically and societally, and as composers, producers, consumers and critics.Media studies gives you the chance to critically examine the technologies and techniques used to engage, inform and entertain audiences via television, film, social media, advertising, AI, radio and podcasting. Staff expertise includes advertising, media regulation, privacy, political communication, professional writing, comics, visual culture, gender and race, virtual worlds, global media, social networks and documentary. You can develop technical and creative skills related to writing, editing, filming, blogging, and publishing. In Music, you will cover a wide range of musical genres from early modern to contemporary, the art music tradition as well as popular music and traditional music. You can enhance your solo and/or ensemble performance skills. Our extensive music facilities include two professional standard concert halls, rehearsal spaces, practice rooms, and electroacoustic composition and recording studios. You will be taught by world-renowned musicologists, composers and performers, who will encourage you to explore the connections between all three fundamental aspects of musical study. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Media, Film & and Journalism (with Foundation Year) P320.
