Course summary

This course offers you the opportunity to specialise in Music in a school that has a music specialism and would appeal to anyone interested in studying performing, composition, contextual studies, music technology or a mixture of these. Modern disciplines are studied which related directly to careers in television, radio, film or gaming. Alternatively, students can opt to follow a more traditional study pathway with composition, performance, and music studies. The ability to mix pathways means that students can study the aspects of the subject that inspire them, from the traditional to how the industry is organised today through to technological pathways.
