The BSc Physics and Music degree programme is designed to give a broad-based education in theoretical and experimental physics combined with knowledge of the practical and theoretical aspects of music. This programme of study will allow you to combine one third Music (40 credits) with two thirds Physics (80 credits) in each year of the programme. You will cover the core Mathematics and Physics material throughout the three years of study. Most of the modules in Physics are prescribed, but in Music you have considerable choice from such areas as composition, performance, theory and analysis, ethnomusicology and music history. There is special tuition in studio techniques as well as the acoustical aspects of music and musical instruments. In addition there are practical sessions in Music and Physics and you are expected to take part in musicmaking.

This programme gives students a sound training in Physics and Music in preparation for a wide variety of employment, including work in sound engineering, acoustics, the media (including composition for film/TV), the technical aspects of music and music theatre, industrial or academic research and development, education, and diverse areas requiring a pragmatic, numerate and analytical approach to problem solving, such as business and finance.
