Undergraduate Study

At Durham you will engage actively with music both familiar and unfamiliar and be challenged to think about music in new ways. Our research-led teaching allows you to work closely with internationally renowned experts, who support and encourage you to develop independent study skills. By the end of the course, you will be producing independent project work that engages with the latest research in your chosen area of study. Our curriculum provides you with a diverse but well-balanced university education that will stimulate your curiosity, while developing the skills necessary to give you a head start in further study or future employment.
