Undergraduate

Choosing to study Music with us is your opportunity to become engaged in a vibrant musical community.

Our undergraduate curriculum is strong in traditional skills, but also reflects contemporary developments in music and musicology.

Our students work and study with academic staff with expertise across composition, performance, musicology, ethnomusicology, and popular music.

We actively encourage our students to develop musical and critical skills that are suited to a wide variety of careers and workplaces. 98% of graduates were in employment and/or further study, due to start a new job or course, or doing other activities such as travelling, 15 months after the end of their course (Graduate Outcomes survey 2020/21)*.

Our graduates have found success both within the music profession – as composers, conductors, performers, teachers, arts administrators, and music librarians – but also in diverse fields such law, accountancy, politics, IT, marketing and management consultancy.
