Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Music and Creative Writing (WW38)

The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Music and Creative Writing course offers a perfect combination of creative disciplines. Students will pursue music studies in performance, composition and musicology, and will study the creative practice of writing in a variety of forms. They will approach texts as both reader and writer, and engage with music as a listener, performer and composer. Bangor University's close links with local theatres, poetry groups and vibrant student societies will give them opportunities to get involved in arts and culture, and be a part of a thriving music community.

Studying Music is a creative opportunity to grow as a musician, guided by world-renowned composers, performers, musicologists and researchers. Students will perform in, or attend performances at, public venues such as Pontio or the magnificent Prichard Jones Hall. In Creative Writing they will approach their studies through a variety of disciplinary pathways: instruction in using the techniques and forms of creative writing; study of the short story, the novel and poetry as literary forms; vocationally-oriented modules in journalism, screenwriting, scriptwriting, storytelling, genre writing, writing for performance and publication, and writing for online and other digital media.
