Bangor University

The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Music and Film Studies course have been closely linked since the invention of cinema. This course will allow students to explore the many connections between these two creative disciplines, from a range of perspectives. They will be part of a thriving music community and will benefit from Bangor University's close links with the local, national and international film studies and media making communities in the USA, Australasia and Europe. As a graduate with specialisms in both Music and Film, they will be equipped for a wide range of professional careers.

Studying Music is a creative opportunity to grow as a musician, guided by world-renowned composers, performers, musicologists and researchers. Students will perform in, or attend performances at, public venues like Pontio or the magnificent Prichard Jones Hall. Their musical experience will extend beyond the lecture room, with opportunities to join the University Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Choir or one of the many student societies for Music, such as Opera, Concert Band, DJ, Musical Theatre, and String Orchestra.
