This joint honours degree combines a full course in music with the study of Russian language, literature and culture, providing you with a valuable skill set that is ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace.

Music offers a broad range of units in musicology, composition and performance, across diverse styles and genres. These are complemented by weekly concerts, regular masterclasses and performances in the department, and opportunities to get involved in the dynamic music scene in the city of Bristol.

Russia continues to assert itself as an independent, powerful political and economic force; Russian expertise has never been more vital in a range of professions.

You will spend your third year abroad in a Russian-speaking environment, which will enable you to refine your language skills and cultural knowledge.

This joint degree provides a wide range of units that allows you to pursue your own interests in both fields. In your first year you will take 60 credits in each department, and in years two and four you can specialise in one subject (80 credits in one and 40 in the other). In year one music harmony and analysis are compulsory, in addition to which you have a choice of composition, performance or another history unit.

Second and fourth years allow even more choice and your third year is spent abroad. You will have access to the School of Modern Languages' state-of-the-art multimedia centre.
