Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - English Literature and Music (32N6)

Studying English Literature and Music is a brilliant way to develop students' skills and insights in both areas. Half of their modules will be in English Literature, and half in Music. They will develop a thorough knowledge of literary texts, theory, history and criticism, and pursue creative studies from a selection of musical performance, composition and musicology modules. The close links with local theatres, poetry groups and vibrant student societies – including the Bangor English Drama Society (BEDS) and the University Music Society – will give them plenty of opportunities to get involved in arts and culture.

English Literature provides the chance to develop a thorough knowledge of literary texts, theory, history and criticism. Students have the opportunity to study a broad range of English Literature in small groups, led by the research experts in the field, in an atmosphere of creative, scholarly enterprise in order to develop skills of critical analysis that are highly valued by employers. They will also be able to connect their English and Music studies through the interdisciplinary work in the interaction of words and music both in creative practice and from a historical perspective, as well as exploring the literary aspects of setting texts to music.
