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 programmeThe 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
BursaryStudents taking performance receive an annual bursary for instrumental tuition.
