The BA Music and French at the University of Bristol offers you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in two rich and interconnected disciplines. This undergraduate degree is ideal if you are passionate about both the creative and analytical aspects of music and wish to gain fluency and cultural insight into the French language and Francophone world. You will explore diverse musical styles and theoretical concepts alongside the vibrant history, literature, and culture of French-speaking societies, preparing you for a globalised future where interdisciplinary skills are highly valued.
You will study this programme full-time on campus over four years, including a transformative year abroad in a French-speaking country to deepen your language proficiency and cultural understanding. Your learning experience will blend lectures, seminars, and practical sessions, allowing you to engage with musicology, composition, performance, and advanced French language studies. You will develop critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills, graduating with a comprehensive understanding of both fields and the confidence to pursue careers in international relations, cultural industries, education, or further academic research.
