Programme profile


Music at UCD covers four main areas of study: musicology, ethnomusicology, music theory and performance. Musicology embraces the historical and cultural study of music; ethnomusicology explores non-Western music and Western folk music; music theory deals with the analysis of musical structure. There are also three performing ensembles in which students can participate for credit: the UCD Choral Scholars, the UCD Symphony Orchestra and the UCD Philharmonic Choir.

The UCD School of Music offers two pathways to a degree in Music. If you have a very strong commitment to music and wish to pursue it professionally, entry through the BMus programme allows you to focus your studies on music as a single subject honours degree. Alternatively, studying music as part of the BA Joint Honours programme allows you to study the subject as a joint major and gives you access to the full range of subjects in the BA programme
