Our adaptable Music BA program enables you to focus on your personal musical passions while gaining a comprehensive foundation in music theory, composition, performance, history, ethnomusicology, studio production, and music business (including optional work placements).
Alongside essential music fundamentals, this program provides diverse module options with no mandatory first-year requirements. You may also explore subjects from other departments, depending on annual availability. For those seeking deeper musical specialization, our BMus program offers performance-focused third-year projects, first-year core modules, and dual specialization opportunities.
Beyond academic coursework, you'll have access to our school's vibrant performance ensembles covering various musical styles - including Jazz Ensemble, Symphonic Winds, Symphony Orchestra, Gamelan Ensemble, Chamber Choir, Chamber Orchestra, Lanyi (West African Ensemble), Symphony Chorus, and Pop Collective.
