This is the programme for you if you are:
- passionate and curious about music
- fascinated by the role that music plays in our lives and how it interconnects with other fields, disciplines and technologies
We are open to students who have not had an opportunity to study music as a subject at school and offer a Year 1 course (Fundamentals of Music Theory) which supports new students to develop their musical literacy if required.
A flexible programme
The BMus programme is flexible and welcomes students from different backgrounds and musical experiences. It is designed so that you can tailor a pathway that best suits your musical interests and strengths.
For example, you can decide to:
- focus on the cultural, sociological, and historical contexts of music
- specialise in composition and/or performance
- focus entirely on studying music courses
- study a mix of music courses and courses from subjects outside of music
As a student in the Reid School of Music, you will be part of a vibrant musical community. You will study with scholars, composers, and performers known internationally who are passionate about teaching.
Programme benefits
- Our programme will provide you with an enjoyable, rewarding, and rigorous engagement with music and music-making.
- On completion, this degree places you in a very strong position for a high-level career in the music industry, in many fields related to music and beyond.
- This degree will provide you with an opportunity to learn valuable transferable skills and abilities as part of an arts and humanities degree from a world-leading, research-intensive University that opens doors to graduate jobs and opportunities beyond music.
- We offer a unique blend of expertise and enthusiasm for the subject area, led by scholars who can help you discover new insights, areas of interest, and ideas within the discipline of music.
- You will be part of a rich community of practising musicians in the School of Music and of creative artists, designers, filmmakers, animators, and others in the wider Edinburgh College of Art.
