Degrees

Undergraduate

In 2021 the following undergraduate degrees will be offered from first-year level:

Bachelor of Art in Music Foundation Programme (four-year programme)

A four-year programme with a wide variety of choices dedicated largely to music. The foundation programme includes four core introductory courses in the first year: Foundational Practical Studies; Foundational Performance Skills; Introduction to Music Fundamentals; and Introduction to Academic Writing in Music. Students must pass all of the foundation courses before they can be admitted to the degree. The subsequent three years follow the standard Bachelor of Art in Music programme.
