English and Music BA

As a dual honours student you'll take half your modules in the School of English and half in the School of Music. The many optional modules mean you can design your degree around your individual interests.

The dual or combined degree in English and Music encourages you to continue to pursue your creative and critical passions across the arts. The English provision includes study of theatre, film, novels, poetry, as well as politics and philosophy, and offers you the chance to develop your creative writing or to develop a theatre practitioner.

The close reading of form, the contextual history of developments in style, and attention to the use and reception of literary, cinematic and musical works, are shared endeavours across these complementary subjects.

Both English and Music facilitate the study of art forms from the Middle Ages to the present day, and our combined honours students develop their aesthetic sensibilities, as much as their clarity of expression in written work.
