Whether you’re a performer, composer, researcher, or a mix of all three, you’ll choose from a broad range of options on our Music BMus(Hons) course. You’re able to tailor your music degree to your creative and professional interests, preparing you for careers that fulfil your ambitions and harness your creativity. On this course, you can explore different musical styles, genres, and traditions, develop as a performer, and create your own music.
Options include popular music, experimental music, film music, world music, music analysis, and arranging, and you can choose to keep your music studies broad or to specialise as a composer, musicologist, or performer. You can also secure both short and year-long industry placements to enhance your prospects. This will equip you for a range of careers as a musician, whether performing, teaching, or writing music, or adopting a mixture of different roles.
You’ll study in state-of-the-art professional standard facilities, with access to a range of rehearsal spaces, recording studios, two dedicated concert halls, and a large selection of equipment and instruments for you to use.
Working with experienced tutors, internationally recognised researchers, and visiting industry professionals, you’ll also collaborate with our team of instrumental and vocal teachers. Visiting artists have included Matt Stiff (professional opera singer, former member of G4 and Huddersfield graduate), and Nitin Sawhney (producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and orchestral composer).
