Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History and Music (VW13)

Bangor University

In this Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History and Music course students will learn through a variety of small-group seminar classes, fieldtrips, practical workshops, one-to-one tuition, and lectures of between 10 and 50 students. With key historic and World heritage sites on the doorstep, Bangor University gives access to a rich resource of local heritage sites, monuments, and museums. From prehistorical burial mounds to stately homes and castles, this tremendous resource is an integral part of the course and used in teaching through field trips, practical workshops, and excavations. Several Music modules also include field trips, for example to concerts, record companies and music publishers.

In the first year of Students' History course they will choose from a selection of modules that are intended to provide a flavour of the degree as a whole. In the second and third year they will have a wide choice of more specialist and thematic modules with close consideration of original sources. This allows them to tailor their degree to their own interests. They will also research and write a dissertation on a topic of their choice in Year three.
