BA in Popular Music

This modern, 4-year, level 8 music degree provides a comprehensive training in popular music performance with ancillary and supporting courses in: Music Technology; Ear Training & Harmony; Arranging; Pop Music History; Musical Direction; Songwriting; Music Business; and Education. Students may also take free electives from any appropriate degree course across the Institute and, particularly, from our sister courses, the BMus, BA in Theatre & Drama Studies, and the new BA in Musical Theatre.
