Music:
The programme aims to give a wide understanding of the European musical tradition from medieval times to the present day.
The programme provides an intellectual training through study of the historical, technical, analytical, compositional and performance aspects of music, examines contemporary cultural and social settings for music and provides opportunities for the acquisition of a broad range of intellectual, critical and creative skills in preparation for:
a career in the musical professions (including performance)
employment in a wide range of other musical and non-musical contexts
further study at postgraduate level.
French:
This programme is designed to allow students to achieve a command of modern spoken and written French to a high level of fluency and accuracy. It also gives students the opportunity to study aspects of French society, cultural production and linguistic history so as to provide a deeper understanding of the rich diversity of the culture in France and elsewhere in the French-speaking world. Programmes which involve the study of French and another modern language enable students to develop a strong intercultural competence. All programmes foster wider intellectual and experiential horizons thorough the mutual enrichment provided by the two components of the programme. In addition to introducing students to a wide range of areas of knowledge, all the programmes offer a training which develops skills in seeking out, analysing and critically interpreting information. Graduates enter employment in a broad variety of contexts, building on their practical language skills and on the training provided by a degree in the Humanities.
Faculty Workload Statement
Student workloads in the Arts Faculty are calculated on the basis of an average of 40 hours per week over the 30 weeks of the academic year. 10 credits therefore represents roughly 100 hours of student work. Part of this workload is made up of lectures, classes and other formal contact time, typically around 6-8 hours per week during each Teaching Block; it will be more for those studying languages or practice-based subjects, and tends to be less in the later years of the programme as students are expected to be doing more independent work. The bulk of the workload is made up of preparation for class (normally around 3-4 hours per contact hour) and work on assessment tasks (e.g. researching and writing coursework, revising for exams).
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |

|
Acquisition of knowledge through lectures, seminars, tutorials and directed reading with emphasis, where appropriate, on primary materials and their interpretation. Independent learning is pursued through written coursework, supervised research projects and individual practice/rehearsal, as appropriate, for Performance units. |
Methods of Assessment | |
Examination (Level C/4 'Historical Studies'; Level I/5 'Approaches to Music History I' & Approaches to Music History II'; Level I/5 & H/6 split-level music-history options Coursework (Level C/4 'Historical Studies'; Level C/4 'Technical Studies I' & 'Technical Studies II'; Level C/4 'Practical Studies: Instrumentation and Conducting' (instrumentation coursework); Level C/4 'Composition'; Level I/5 and Level H/6 'Further Technical Studies' and 'Advanced Technical Studies'; Level I/5 'Compositional Strategy', 'Studio Composition Live' and 'Writing for Orchestra'; Lecel I/5 'Performance' (logbook); Level I/5 'Transcription and Editing'; Level I/5 & H/6 split-level music-history and analysis options; Level H/6 Extended Study Performance' (programme notes) The following units are wholly assessed by coursework submissions (written exercises, dissertation or portfolio): Level C/4 'Criticism and the Arts'; Level I/5 & H/6 options 'The Film Musical' and 'Discourses of Cultural Degeneration'; Level H/6 option 'Aesthetics and Criticism'; Level H/6 'Extended Study' (in 'Musicology', 'Composition' or 'Studio Composition'); Level H/6 'Musicology Project', 'Composition Project', 'Studio Project' and 'Editing Project' Recital or other demonstration of practical skill (Level C/4 'Practical Studies'; Level C/4 'Composition' (participation in workshops); Levels I/5 and H/6 'Performance' options) |
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Intellectual skills are developed through seminars, tutorials, oral presentations and written assignments (essays and supervised research projects). All units are structured so as to develop the skills of analysis, bibliographical control, synthesis and critical evaluation (points 1-4). Additionally, specific units at all levels focus on other intellectual skills such as planning, problem-solving and research methods (5, 6). At all levels of the programme there are seminar settings in which students have the opportunity to develop oral presentation skills (7). Formative feedback on these seminar presentations, and tutorially in relation to written exercises provide occasions for contextual reflection (8). |
Methods of Assessment | |
All assessment tasks (written examinations, assessed coursework and supervised research projects) test powers of analysis, bibliographical control, synthesis and evaluation (points 1-4). Problem-solving (point 5) is assessed both by written examinations and coursework (written and oral). Research skills are assessed through written coursework and supervised research projects, which also provide opportunities for self-directed work (point 6). Common to the assessment of all these is the requirement for accuracy and clarity of expression (7). |
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Seminars and tutorials are used to develop oral communication by requiring students to engage in group discussions, make convincing individual oral presentations and act as a respondent to the presentations of others. Team-working exercises (eg seminar presentations) are integrated into specific units in each of the last two years of the programme. Written communication is developed through project assignments, regular coursework and supervised research projects, typically within the various historical options but also in Level H Aesthetics and Criticism. |
Methods of Assessment | |
Assessment is primarily through written media (examinations, assessed coursework, and supervised research projects) providing evidence of a variety of essential communication skills (1, 2, 4). Assessed coursework and dissertations are also used to test key skills in the following units: Level C Historical Studies I and II; Level I Core Units; Levels I and H List C options; Level H Extended Studies (3, 6,7,8). Performance skills are tested by ensemble work and solo recitals at all levels (4, 5, 6). A programme of lessons and rehearsals documented in a log book tests the ability to sustain development over time and to write reflectively about the experience (1, 4, 5, 6, 8). |
Statement of expectations from the students at each level of the programme as it/they develop year on year.
Level C/4 - Certificate |
By the end of their studies at level C, students are expected to be able to demonstrate a sound knowledge of the fundamental principles of musicology (including a grasp of appropriate repertoires and texts and a satisfactory level of competence in the relevant bibliographic skills) as well as an ability to apply these in written texts of different kinds; confidence in handling elements of musical notation and language (for example, intervals, rhythms, modes, metres and sonorities); competence in the memorising of musical materials sufficient to enable accurate realisation of notation in sound; where appropriate, demonstrate a degree of personal expression and creativity in practical music-making; foundational knowledge of composition (whether acoustic or studio), and including the basics of sound recording and manipulation, MIDI and notation software. The expectation is that their work may require substantial direction from members of staff at this stage (supplied tutorially and in dedicated support seminars). |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
At level I students are expected to be able to demonstrate that they have expanded the range and depth of their knowledge of the various sub-disciplines and their capacity to evaluate these using a variety of critical perspectives. They should also have developed a higher level of competence in the relevant technical and/or practical skills. At this stage, students should be developing a capacity for mature reflection on specific aspects of the subject and for self-directed learning (for example, through the researching and writing of approved seminar projects). It is expected that at least a part of this gradual process of absorption will occur in seminars, in which second-year students are taught together with third-years and have the opportunity to gain insight and confidence from observing the contribution of more experienced students. Composers are expected to develop a critical relationship to their evolving musical language such that a personal 'voice' can be recognized intuitively and rationalized in the specific handling of and inter-relation between musical elements. Analytical studies may play a part in the acquisition of this skill. Performers are expected to refine the technical and interpretative aspects of their craft both as soloists and in an ensemble situation. |
Level H/6 - Honours |
At level H students are expected to expand the breadth of their knowledge through their study of optional subjects and to develop further their ability to gather and assimilate information. They are expected to synthesise material in an appropriate way, engage in sophisticated critical evaluation of texts about music, construct effective and detailed arguments (both orally and in writing) that display competence in the practices, processes, techniques and methodologies that underpin musicological practice. As composers, they are expected to refine the creative imagination, lateral thinking skills, and disciplined objectification of original ideas in a practical form. As performers, they are expected to develop a sensitivity to the musical demands of pieces in a variety of styles, and/or an affinity with the relevant performance practices of one particular style, and to communicate their interpretations with confidence in a performance setting. At this level students are expected to be able to demonstrate their capacity for self-directed study using the skills acquired and developed at level C and I. |
The intended learning outcome mapping document shows which mandatory units contribute towards each programme intended learning outcome.
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Knowledge and understanding are acquired through: lectures, seminars, tutorials, intensive language classes, directed reading, regular written coursework and practical language work (supported by the facilities of the Multimedia Centre), and a compulsory period of residence in the country to countries where the language is spoken. |
Methods of Assessment | |
Essay writing, formal presentations and examinations test the students' ability to analyse information and present reasoned arguments. Problem solving is assessed on the basis of the ability shown in addressing and responding to direct questions. Research skills are assessed through coursework and dissertations. Language development skills are tested through formative and summative modes of assessment (translations, language essays, oral presentations and aural comprehension exercises). |

Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Seminars and tutorials are used to develop oral communication by requiring students to engage in class discussions and to give short presentations to initiate discussion, including defending their interpretations in debate with other students and staff. (1, 4, 5, 6) Oral skills are further developed in the language classes. (8, 11) Research and written communication skills are developed through the writing of essays and tutors' feedback on these. (3, 7, 9, 13) Independent learning is required in all language and non-language units. (1, 13, 14) IT skills are developed when researching and producing course work. (5, 12, 15) Students are given guidance on how to manage their time and work independently. (1, 17) Students are given guidance on the use of electronic resources, and are informed of opportunities for C&IT training. (15) |
Methods of Assessment | |
Non-language units are assessed through, written examination, written coursework and oral presentations requiring detailed and informed handling of the primary literature and extensive background reading in support of the argumentation advanced. In language, oral presentations are assessed according to criteria testing the effectiveness and accuracy of delivery and the command of information. Some units require oral class presentations of a satisfactory standard in order to gain CPs. The knowledge base is also tested through traditional unseen written examinations and through dissertations. Research and IT skills are assessed through coursework and dissertations |
Statement of expectations from the students at each level of the programme as it/they develop year on year.
Level C/4 - Certificate |
Year 1 of the course has been expressly designed to lay the foundations, both in terms of subject-specific knowledge and skills and in terms of more general skills and abilities, which will allow students to fulfil the programme's aims and objectives. Core units in language are geared to help students progress in the consolidation and development of their A-level (or equivalent) language skills. Mandatory non-language units cover some of the main themes and concepts of French culture, familiarising students with the literature and political/social backcloth of France and thereby introducing them to the key areas of study offered in the programme. This will enable students to make informed choices between the optional units available in future years and provide a sound basis for study in Level I. The expectation is that their work will require considerable direction from members of staff at this stage. |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
In Year 2, students are expected to be able to demonstrate that, in both mandatory and optional units, they have expanded the range and depth of their knowledge and also their capacity to evaluate their work. The topics explored and source materials consulted will be of greater depth and substance. Students will develop their analytical skills, their ability to structure their work and to expound it effectively with the increased requirement for seminar presentation. Language work will be of a higher level of complexity and students will develop their capacity to work accurately and creatively with French. They will be encouraged in group-work skills through active participation in seminars. They will be acquiring a heightened capacity for self-directed learning (for example, through the researching and writing of coursework assignments). |
Level H/6 - Honours |
In Year 4, students are expected to expand the breadth of their knowledge through the study of optional units that allow them to pursue more closely their particular areas of interest. These units are more directly linked to staff research specialisms. Students are thereby able to benefit from a wide range of expertise at the cutting-edge of research that not only enhances their intellectual development but also serves actively to foster in them a research culture. Students will be expected to develop their ability to gather and assimilate information, synthesise it in an appropriately informed way, and engage in sophisticated evaluation of primary texts. These skills will have been enhanced through the heightened command of the French language acquired during the mandatory period of residence in a French-speaking country. |

Workload Statement
In common with the rest of the University, units in the Faculty of Arts
adhere to the credit framework which sets out that 20 credits normally
equates to some 200 hours of student input. Some of this time will be spent
in class, with the remainder divided between preparation for classes and
preparation for, and completion of, the assessment tasks. Some of this
activity may occur within the University’s online learning environment,
Blackboard, which you may use to prepare wikis, to interact with other
students, to download tutorials or to receive feedback.

Music:
The BA Joint Honours programme in Music and French is a full-time (4 year) programme. It requires 480 credit points including 240 from levels I and H and 120 from the year abroad. All students take 60 credits at Level C, 20 of which are Mandatory (see Section 18). The remainder of the programme (240 credit points) is made up of optional units at Levels I and H (though there are certain limitations on the combination of these). The particular permutations of credits obtainable from the Music Units are shown in Section 18 above. Credit points are awarded for satisfactory completion of each unit (ie. attendance, undertaking the prescribed exercises and passing the assessments, in accordance with current Arts Faculty regulations and ordinances). The study of a 10 credit point unit should involve 100 hours of learning effort (including contact teaching hours); the study of a 20 credit point unit should involve 200 hours of learning effort (including contact teaching hours). Virtually all aspects of the BA (Hons) programme in Music taken by Joint Honours students offer the opportunity to acquire and develop transferable skills much valued by employers, and reflected in the encouraging employment statistics relating to recent graduates.
French:
Honours Degree programmes involving French and another subject require mandatorily that one year Students can opt to take an assistantship in a French school under a scheme organised by the French government if they are spending the entire academic session in France. The French Department also has Erasmus exchanges with universities in Aix-en Provence, Paris, Bordeaux, La Réunion, and Poitiers among others. Students can also take up work placements; some placements are recurrently available to Bristol students while others are arranged anew each year. The French Department offers a rich array of internal pathways for students to follow. All the pathways place an emphasis on the development of language skills and the enhancement of the students' knowledge and expertise in a variety of aspects of culture (including film, literature and visual cultures), history, and politics. Students may also opt to take a School of Modern Languages unit; these are usually interdisciplinary or allow students to take an additional language (for example, Czech or Catalan). Students of French are therefore integrated into the broader community of the School of Modern Languages while retaining a distinct departmental identity. The Department’s teaching is informed by its dynamic research agenda, resulting in the creation and development of a vibrant learning environment for students within the Department and the School, as staff continuously upgrade existing teaching materials. The School offers a wide variety of joint programmes involving the study of any two of the following languages: Czech, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. There are also joint programmes combining French with Theatre, Film, History of Art, Music, Philosophy, Politics, and Law. Such students serve to enrich the intellectual environment within which teaching and learning take place within the French Department.
