About BA Music and Russian
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.
