The Music Technology programme offers theoretical knowledge of the practice of music technology, and the skills to record, produce and programme music in a PC- based multi-track digital/analogue recording studio.

The interdisciplinary BMus option allows students to widen the scope of their degree by adding a second, non-music area of specialisation to their programme. On completion of this qualification, students will have attained a comprehensive and systematic knowledge base in the field of music and a depth of knowledge in the non-music field. Students will have a coherent and critical understanding of the theories and practices in the field of music and an ability to conduct research and critique advanced scholarship in a non-music field.

In addition to a core curriculum of music subjects, the BMus General allows candidates a wide scope of elective options, both within and beyond the field of music. Students will be able to present and communicate academic and/ or professional work effectively, catering for a variety of audiences by using a range of different media appropriate to the context. The qualification has been structured in such a manner as to promote transformation in music in the broadest sense. Learning programmes will contribute to the personal development of the individual student and to social and economic development by applying the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes.

The Music Education programme develops students’ critical ability to analyse theories of music education, and equips them to apply effective teaching and learning strategies in music education.

The Performing Arts programme equips learners with the ability to work as performing artists in a creative environment, and stylistic insight into the performance requirements of music.
