About Music BA in University of Nottingham
Music surrounds us. It has a profound effect on us as individuals and shapes wider society. It's used for personal pleasure, intellectual stimulation, celebration, mourning, and political propaganda.At Nottingham you’ll explore both how music does this and how your creativity can produce music that people will remember.
Choose your own path
All of our students get a common introduction to the basic building blocks of music across styles, genres, cultures and traditions.
You'll then have the freedom to choose. If you want to specialise in musicology, performance, composition or technology you can. Alternatively, explore widely across our diverse mix of modules. Combine Early Music with Race and Musical Theatre or Conducting with Studio Recording. You can build your degree to suit your interests.
We encourage collaboration between students, joining up work across modules and getting involved in staff projects.
