Our unique MArts, BA Music and Music Psychology is the only course of its type in the country. As an Integrated Masters course, you’ll study for four years and graduate with both a masters (MArts) and bachelors (BA) qualification in music and music psychology.
The core of the course balances modules focused on music psychology with those drawing on musics from a range of genres, styles, cultural and social contexts, and geographic locations to explore key concepts, theories and approaches. You’ll develop your skills as a creative, critical and reflective thinker, gaining the tools and experience needed to be an independent worker, musician and music psychologist, ready for life after university. The first two years maintain a dual core of music and music psychology, with the proportion of credits taken in music psychology increasing in the final two years. You can personalise your course in all years by choosing optional modules from a broad range of areas – including aesthetics, analysis, contemporary composition, film music, the music business, musicology, music technology, performance (solo and collaborative) and popular music – enabling you to shape your degree to fit your interests and ambitions.
