This dynamic and rigorous program enables you to focus on and expand your musical passions while gaining comprehensive training across aesthetics, analysis, composition, ethnomusicology, music history, and performance. Alongside core music fundamentals, the curriculum provides adaptable and varied module options. You might also explore subjects from other departments, depending on availability. For those seeking concentrated music study, our BMus program (featuring composition and performance as major final-year projects) serves as another option. The four-year structure includes a third year abroad, where you'll take music and other available courses, gaining international perspectives on musical study. You'll return to Cardiff for your final year of studies.
