Music at Birmingham has evolved throughout the past century to give students unparalleled facilities, opportunities and student experience - blending tradition with fearless exploration of contemporary developments.

The undergraduate Music degree will encompass musicology, performance and composition, with opportunities to specialise in one of these disciplines. In addition, all undergraduate students receive a scholarship for lessons for up to two instruments (including voice) at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire or through the Centre for Early Music Performance and Research.

Students will benefit from some of the best facilities for undergraduate music study and practice in the country, including the state-of-the-art Bramall Music Building and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, with its magnificent Art Deco concert hall. Students will have access to practice rooms, electro-acoustic music studios and early instruments. The university's library resources include listening booths, extensive audio and text collections, as well as Special Collections centred on Baroque music and 20th century English music, including Elgar diaries, manuscript scores and early editions. This student experience is complemented by a diverse and eclectic array of music venues in the city of Birmingham, and music-making opportunities in abundance through the active Music Society, the university's largest and oldest society.
