Mathematics has often been considered an arts subject, with many studying it for the beauty of the subject. Likewise, although a very creative subject, music has many links to mathematics and can be studied as a scientific subject.

On this joint honours programme, you will study elements of mathematics and music and explore the historical connection between these two disciplines. You will split your time evenly between the two subjects over the entire programme.

You will take compulsory mathematics courses, and study the theoretical and cultural aspects of music, such as:

listening and musicianship
music technology
composition
Later in the programme, you can choose to:

specialise in particular aspects of mathematics
specialise in particular aspects of music
examine the links between the two subjects
study a broad range of topics across the two subjects
