Music, Film and Drama are art forms that speak to the very core of human experience; they impact our lives every day. This four-year course allows students to immerse themselves in the close study of these forms, to understand them from cultural and historical perspectives, and to explore the ways in which they influence and transform each other. Learn how to understand the inner workings of these art forms. Deepen your knowledge of their historical development. Research the place of these arts in society. Build your skills in creative practice.

 

The first year of the course builds students’ vocabulary and fluency in key analytical techniques and introduces students to the cultural and historical contexts of Music, Film and Drama. Second-year modules broaden the scope of inquiry, moving from central texts and practices to the representation of lesser-known voices and issues. In the third and fourth years of the course, you will forge your own path, taking modules that focus on specific genres or particular approaches to these art forms. You can also choose to incorporate an internship or to study abroad. In the final year, students will work on a major dissertation or applied project in creative practice that will allow them to complete a research project on a topic of their choice, working one-on-one with an expert in their field.
