About the course

This programme is the ideal choice if you want to focus solely on music. It will allow you to specialise and develop your own musical interests whilst acquiring a solid, broad-based education in aesthetics, analysis, composition, ethnomusicology, music history and performance. Of all our courses, the BMus offers the most in-depth study, allowing you to spend all your time specialising in music. It also enables you to take composition and/or recital as major projects in year three, which are available only as minor projects in our BA programmes. You will spend the third year of this four-year course studying abroad, taking modules in music and other subjects where available. At your host university, you will learn different perspectives and approaches to studying music. You will complete your studies in Cardiff in the fourth year.
