Overview
The Popular Music (Joint Honours) BA/BSc (Hons) is intended to prepare you for a growing, and ever-evolving industry which contributed £4.5 billion to the economy in 2018. The course is specifically designed to ready you for a range of potential avenues of music creation, for example working as a freelance musician, working in the video game industry or in the world of live music, or working as an educator.
