About Music And Philosophy BA in University of Nottingham
If you're a keen musician who wants to explore the exciting world philosophy offers then this is the course for you.
There's always been a common bond between the subjects:
- contemporary composers Philip Glass and Steve Reich both have philosophy degrees
- renowned philosopher Schopenhauer considered music the highest art, playing the flute his whole life.
The flexible nature of the course means there are opportunities to link the subjects together as well as studying both as separate passions.
