Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History and Music

A three year honours degree combining history with music, covering historical method and periods alongside performance, musicology and composition, with a final year project.

Music history is a genuine scholarly field, and studying both disciplines together supports work in archives, broadcasting and cultural programming.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History and Music is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the history and music degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the history and music degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the history and music degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the history and music degree does not support a family move.
