Faculty of Music : Guide to courses
The BMus/BA degree provides students with the opportunity to combine their music degree with a general education in the humanities, social sciences and the languages and cultures of other people. Students complete a minimum of 500 points, made up of a minimum of 225 points in subjects in the Faculty of Arts (50 at first-year level, 75 at second-year level, 100 at third-year level) and a minimum of 275 points with a maximum of 312.5 points from the BMus. The same subject cannot be counted towards both degrees.
A 'major' or specialisation in the Faculty of Arts consists of at least five subjects at second and/or third year level in an area of study, including any compulsory subjects prescribed by the relevant department. Students have the option of completing one or two majors or not completing a major if they find this restrictive, instead taking subjects from several areas of study. Areas of study are: American Studies; Ancient Greek; Anthropology; Arabic; Archaeology; Asian Studies; Australian Studies; Chinese; Cinema Studies; Criminology; English; English Language; Environmental Studies; Fine Arts; French; Geography; German; Modern Greek; Hebrew; Hellenic Studies; History; History and Philosophy of Science; Indonesian; Islamic Studies; Italian; Jewish Studies; Korean; Latin; Linguistics; Medieval Studies; Philosophy; Planning and Design; Political Science; Psychology; Russian; Russian Studies; Social Theory; Social Research Methods; Sociology; Spanish; Swedish; Women's Studies. The following subjects are available in first year only, and in some instances at second year level: Communication Skills; English as a Second Language; Vietnamese. For further information, please refer to the separate entries for Music and Arts in this handbook.
The combined course is administered through the Faculty of Music and normally takes five years of full-time study. To be selected into the combined degree, students need to satisfy the entry requirements of both courses.

Either or both of the BA and the BMus may be taken at honours level. For BA(Hons) the course requires extra points and a sixth year of study; entry to the BA(Hons) component depends on the student's acceptance into a specific honours school or schools at the beginning of the third or fourth year of their BA course (see Faculty of Arts entry).
The BMus degree may be awarded with honours depending on the level of results the student earns in the third and fourth-year subjects of the degree (see BMusHons).
