Music BA Honours (W300)

Develop into an accomplished musician with a broad base of musical and academic training on this rewarding three-year degree.

This degree follows the same study programme as our Music BMus degree, except that BMus students spend an integrated year abroad, whereas for BA students it is an optional extra year.

You'll gain a solid grounding in Western art music practices whilst enjoying the opportunity to study a range of contemporary, world, traditional and popular musics.

To help your performance skills, you will receive funded one-to-one tuition from internationally recognised musicians - including members of the Royal Northern Sinfonia - and have access to rehearsal spaces 24/7 in our £4.5m Music Studios.

You can also choose to enhance your employability and develop career skills through modules in music enterprise, teaching music in the community and music teaching, as well as placement modules.

You'll enjoy a high level of flexibility and choice, with increasing control over what you study as the degree progresses.
