Undergraduate courses
Courses
We offer a diverse and broad range of units, across Composition, Performance and Musicology (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, or can focus on the aspects that interest them most.
Our students acquire a competitive range of transferable skills. In the 2025 Discover Uni stats, 15 months after graduation, our students achieved 90% employment and/or further study, and impressive average earnings of £30k.
