This programme is designed to provide both academic excellence and vocational development - a balance that is highly sought after by employers in today's intellectual, professional and creative industries, both in this country and abroad. The study of one or two Modern Languages (French, German, Spanish and/or Russian) alongside Music is highly complementary and an exciting opportunity to contextualise your knowledge in each discipline. This programme offers you the opportunity to combine studies in Music and one or two Modern Languages (French, German, Spanish, and/or Russian) in a variety of combinations. Our Music undergraduates benefit from some of the best facilities for music study and practice in the country. Your Music studies will encompass musicology, composition and performance - including one-to-one instrumental/vocal tuition. Many students receive their practical tuition from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, with whom we enjoy close links. Over 93% of our Modern Languages and Music graduates enter work or further study within six months of graduation (DLHE 2017).
