About Music, BMus - at Cardiff University

This programme is the ideal choice if you want to focus solely on music. It will allow you to specialise and develop your own musical interests whilst acquiring a solid, broad-based education in aesthetics, analysis, composition, ethnomusicology, music history and performance.

Of all our courses, the BMus offers the most in-depth study, allowing you to spend all your time specialising in music. It also enables you to take composition and/or recital as major projects in year three, which are available only as minor projects on our BA programmes.

As well as studying a range of academic modules, you will also be encouraged to join our School-led musical ensembles, representing a wide range of musical repertoires and traditions.
