Bachelor of Arts - Music (W300)

The BA Music program will allow students to specialize and develop their own musical interests while acquiring a solid, broad-based education in music theory and analysis, composition and performance studies, music history and culture, ethnomusicology, studio production and the business of music (including the opportunity to undertake a work placement). 

As well as the key foundations of an education in music, this program offers students a flexible and diverse range of modules, without any core requirements in year 1. Students may also be able to study topics in other schools, subject to availability each year. If they would prefer to focus solely on music, consider BMus course (which includes performance as a major project in year 3, core module requirements in year 1, and the opportunity to specialize in two major projects) as an alternative. 

In addition to studying a range of academic modules, students will also be encouraged to take full advantage of school-led core ensembles, representing a wide range of musical repertoires and traditions, such as the Jazz Ensemble, Symphonic Winds, Symphony Orchestra, Gamelan Ensemble, Chamber Choir, Chamber Orchestra, Linyi (West African Ensemble), Symphony Chorus and the Pop Collective.
