At Bangor University, making music and understanding music go hand in hand. You will be taught by world-renowned musicologists, composers and performers, who will encourage you to explore the connections between all three fundamental aspects of musical study. In music, key strengths lie in 20th and 21st century music (including popular music), music editing, Welsh music, sonic art, composition, contemporary and interactive performance.
Our extensive music facilities include two professional standard concert halls, rehearsal spaces, practice rooms, and four 24/7 electroacoustic composition and recording studios. We have a range of instruments and equipment, including a full-size organ, chamber organ, several harpsichords, harps, and four new Steinway grand pianos.
We enjoy close links with leading organisations such as the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Venue Cymru and Ensemble Cymru, BBC Wales, S4C, BAFTA Cymru and independent television company Cwmni Da. This presents opportunities to gain practical experience and forge links with potential future employers across the media, creative and cultural industries. In the past, our students have had opportunities to attend industry talks and workshops with directors, broadcasters and TV commissioners.
Studying within the School enables you to collaborate on different projects, such as short films, recitals and other musical productions, with students who are composers, musicians, actors, linguists and writers. There are plenty of opportunities to help organise, record, report, attend and perform in a multitude of activities within the University and other public venues such as Galeri Caernarfon and Venue Cymru.
