Music BA

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Oxford

Program Overview

Music can be studied from a wide variety of perspectives. We study music by reading, listening, performing and composing. We investigate, through analysis, the relationships between the various parts of the composition. We use documentary evidence to explore how reliable and authoritative a score is and how to perform it. We investigate the various uses of music to see how a musical work (or repertory or style) has been shaped over time, and how it might differ from that of earlier ages or of different cultures. Music has been part of the life of Oxford for more than 800 years.
