Undergraduate courses
Courses
We offer a diverse and broad range of units, across Composition, Performance and Music History and Analysis, through all years of our single and joint honours programmes. The first year of the Music degree introduces students to all of these areas of music study; in the second and final years, students can choose to maintain breadth in their degree programme broad, or can focus on the aspects that interest them most.
Our students acquire a competitive range of transferrable skills, resulting in 95% employment and/or further study 15 months after graduation, and impressive average earnings of £27k 15 months after graduation (2024 data from National Student Survey). Staff and students actively participate in the city of Bristol's vibrant musical life.
