Studying an undergraduate modern language from beginner or advanced level (French, German, Spanish or Russian) alongside Music is highly complementary and an exciting opportunity to contextualise your knowledge in each discipline. At the Univeristy of Birmingham, language is studied through the lens of the target culture's literature, history, politics and society, and through total immersion on the Year Abroad. You can find out more about your chosen combination here. Some combinations we are unable to offer due to timetabling restrictions. Our Music department is over 100 years old, and is housed in our state-of-the-art Bramall Music Building. Your undergraduate Music studies will encompass musicology, composition and performance - including one-to-one instrumental/vocal tuition. Many students receive their practical tuition from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, with whom we enjoy close links.
