What you will study

On our course you can take performance and composition in each year. Alongside these, you’ll study music across history and within culture. You’ll develop advanced knowledge of music theory and analysis. You’ll graduate from our course with a BMus qualification, which denotes a practical emphasis – we use performing and/or composing as the key ways to increase your knowledge of music and develop your musicianship. You’ll learn about music of the past and the present, in both classical and popular styles. In your final year, you’ll develop a large-scale individual project this is a good example of the flexible approach you can take to your learning – it can be a substantial written investigation, or a performance or composition project, with complementary writing.
