Music (ba) in Cardiff University

This flexible and challenging programme will allow you to specialise and develop your own musical interests while acquiring a solid, broad-based education in aesthetics, analysis, composition, ethnomusicology, music history and performance.

As well as the key foundations of an education in music, this programme offers you a flexible and diverse range of modules. You may also be able to study topics in other Schools, subject to availability. If you would prefer to focus solely on music, consider our BMus course (which includes composition and performance as third-year major projects) as an alternative.

You will also be encouraged to join our School-led musical ensembles, representing a wide range of musical repertoires and traditions.
