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
