French, read in combination with another subject, is designed to provide you with a thorough grounding in all aspects of French. The result is that you leave university with a high standard of fluency in the language, both written and spoken, and with a wide knowledge of major aspects of French literature, culture and society. The development of reading, analytical, and critical skills, in the form of both oral tasks and written exercises, also forms an integral part of this course.
If you love music and want to understand it — for example, to know how it works, its history and development, how to write music, how to become a more informed performer — this is the course for you. Whether your interests are primarily academic or practical, your experience of this vast and rich subject will be greatly improved in depth and breadth.
As an academic discipline, music fosters independence of thought, creativity, critical and analytical skills, and intellectual awareness. You will also have plenty of opportunity to perform, conduct ensembles, and gain experience of arts administration. Because the course includes a wide range of options, you will be able to emphasise areas that interest you most.
The facilities in the Music Department include a recital room, practice rooms with pianos, an excellent and up-to-date suite of computer workstations that are used for teaching and study, a small music studio (plus more extensive, shared facilities elsewhere), excellent listening equipment, and a substantial lending collection of CDs (with a growing library of videos for students to borrow). |
