Music - BA (Hons) at Anglia Ruskin University

Overview

Study music in the context of its modern application rather than historical period on our full-time Music degree in Cambridge. Choose to study abroad in the US, and get support to find work placements. Immerse yourself in our performance culture and prepare for a career as a professional musician, composer, music technologist or teacher.

Careers

Combined with your own specialisms, the practical and vocational skills you’ll gain from our Music course will help you stand out in the music industry. Many of our recent graduates now enjoy successful careers as performers, composers, technologists, arts administrators and music teachers.

But you will also be well equipped for any role that requires quick thinking, self-reliance, imagination, and teamwork.

If you have an interest in arts therapy, you could go on to take our MA Music Therapy after you graduate.

Placements

We work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects, internships or placements.

In your final year, we’ll help you find a work placement that interests you, whether it’s music education, instrumental teaching, artist management, music marketing, recording and studio work, film composition or events management.
