Course description
Music is an incredibly rich and diverse subject. It is:
* a creative and aesthetic practice
* a social and cultural phenomenon
* studiable as a scientific object
Our BMus programme embraces this disciplinary breadth.
Initially, you will develop your creative musical skills and acquire the tools to engage critically with a variety of musical repertoires and media.
You will also:
* study how music is shaped by (and shapes) the social, cultural, historical, and political environments in which it is produced
* be introduced to the psychology of music and its potential therapeutic effects
**A flexible programme**
The BMus programme is flexible and welcomes students from different backgrounds and musical experiences. It is designed so that you can tailor a pathway that bests suits your musical interests and strengths.
For example, you can decide to:
* focus on the cultural, sociological, and historical contexts of music
* specialise in composition and/or performance
* focus entirely on studying music courses
* study a mix of music courses and courses from subjects outside of music
**Bursary**
Students taking performance receive an annual bursary for instrumental tuition.
