Our sector-leading BA Music with Enterprise is the only undergraduate degree course in the country that enables you to combine your chosen musical interests with the study of enterprise and entrepreneurship. The course is delivered jointly by the School of Music and the Centre for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Studies (CEES), part of the Leeds University Business School.The core of the course balances modules focused on entrepreneurship and enterprise, drawing on musics from a range of genres, styles, cultures and geographic locations to explore key concepts, theories and approaches across these disciplinary areas. You’ll develop your skills as a creative, critical and reflective thinker, gaining the tools and experience needed to be an enterprising and independent worker and musician, ready for life after university. You can personalise your course by choosing optional modules from a broad range of musical areas – including aesthetics, analysis, contemporary composition, film music, the music business, musicology, music psychology, music technology, performance (solo and collaborative) and popular music – enabling you to shape your degree to fit your interests and ambitions.You’ll study with academics in Music and CEES who are experts in their fields, receive support from a dedicated technical team, and take lessons with a visiting professional specialist if you study solo performance. Across your course, you’ll engage with the latest research, explore a range of theoretical, creative and practical aspects of music, enterprise and entrepreneurship, and develop a set of valuable subject-specific and transferrable skills. You’ll have opportunities to work independently and collaboratively, using your skills and knowledge in contexts that extend beyond the University environment. All these elements combine to provide you with an exciting and dynamic educational experience that’s unique to Leeds.We are one of the largest schools of music in the country, which means you’ll benefit from the impressive range of specialisms within our curriculum, reflecting our ethos that music is music, regardless of genre or style. We attract a diverse body of students from across the UK and internationally, which gives the School a vibrant community and culture. Decolonisation, equality and inclusivity are embedded within our curriculum, so all our students can feel a sense of belonging in the School and can thrive on their course, no matter what their background and musical experience.
