2-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Music and Popular Music

In this University of Liverpool programme, the modules vary with some being practical, concerned with musical performance, composition and orchestration, song-writing or creative music technology, although none of these are compulsory. Others focus on music history topics or music analysis and theory. There are also options in areas such as music psychology, audio-visual media (films and videogames), and vocational options.

The remaining modules involve writing about music from a historical, critical, sociological, or philosophical viewpoint. Liverpool's studio and performance modules cater for both classical and popular musical styles.

In Years Two and Three students will focus in more depth on fewer selected topics. Specialist topics can be studied alongside advanced level analysis, performance or composition modules. In Year Three there is a particular emphasis on specialism and an extended or independent project (such as a research project, a composition portfolio or a music technology project).
