Overview

Popular Music is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Music is studio based, and almost every department asks for a portfolio before it will make an offer. We currently work with 2 universities on this course across 2 cities.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

A portfolio career is the norm: performing, teaching, composing and production in combination. The degree's value lies in the technical grounding and the network, and very few graduates earn from one activity alone.

  • Performer or session musician
  • Music teacher or instrumental tutor
  • Composer or arranger
  • Music producer
  • Arts administrator
  • Music therapist, after further training

Where they work

  • Orchestras, ensembles and venues

  • Arts organisations and festivals

After the course

A postgraduate diploma for performance, a teaching qualification for schools, or a master's for music therapy.
