Course summary

This degree gives you the freedom to study different subject areas in the arts and humanities while developing a specialism in music, exploring a range of musical styles, contexts and practical skills. You can combine this with a second specialism or choose to develop broader interests in art history, classical studies, creative writing, English language, English literature, history, modern languages, philosophy and religious studies. You'll also discover how knowledge is created and shared in the arts and humanities, stretch your imagination and develop your own creative and critical responses whilst being part of a vibrant student community. Key features of the course

  • Specialise in music within a broad and flexible arts and humanities degree
  • Develop a range of skills that will be valuable in the workplace and to further study
  • Explore a wide range of musical styles and practices
  • Select a second specialism to complement and enhance your study of music

Modules

This degree has three stages. In Stage 1 you will encounter a variety of different times and places and engage with some fascinating people, art works, ideas and stories. This broad foundation will help you develop the skills and the confident, open approach you need to tackle more specialist modules at Stages 2 and 3. At Stage 2, you can either engage closely with musical materials in audio and notated forms or learn how to create your own music with the help of specialist computer software. You will complete the stage with a second module chosen from above or from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules. At Stage 3 you’ll choose between exploring what music means and does across a wide range of historical and contemporary contexts, including film and western art music; and a module offered by Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. In this collaborative module you’ll refine your abilities as a performer and develop your creativity. You can study both of the modules or choose a second module from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules.
