"During my time here
I have grown to enjoy contemporary music much more than I thought was possible and I put this down to the study of analysis of 20th century music as well as history modules ‘Modernism’ and ‘20th Century British Music'"

The links between music and science are uniquely recognised at Cardiff. This programme of study will allow you to combine music (one third) with physics (two thirds).
