• Folk music studies
• Early music
• Popular music studies
• Music theory and analysis

It's also possible to combine practice-based and musicologically orientated projects.

The MMus can be regarded as a qualification in its own right, but also offers preparation for doctoral study, not least because of the strong research emphasis.

The degree is similar to our Earth Science BSc Honours, but includes a year of advanced study at master's level.

Earth science covers everything from the formation of rocks and minerals to the impact of human activity on the environment.

This degree prepares you for a wide range of possible careers – from geology to geomatics, and from geochemistry to environmental consultant. Whatever you choose, you'll be equipped with relevant skills in:

• experimental science
• fieldwork
• scientific investigation
• project management

Your final year research project will deepen your knowledge and enable you to work with internationally leading researchers and professionals.

This four-year food and human nutrition degree focuses on developing your practical, professional and research skills so you graduate career-ready.

Between your second and final year, you'll carry out a work placement. This is an opportunity to apply your knowledge in a work environment and gain vital professional experience to help you stand out from other graduates.

Our industry-recognised qualification helps to fast-track your career, so you can apply for direct entry into the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists as soon as you graduate.

Our degree is informed by research, this ensures you're learning the most up-to-date and relevant theories along with the latest discoveries in the industry. Our food and human nutrition course explores the links between diet and health from the molecular level through to people and populations.

You'll also have the opportunity to explore topics such as genetics, physiology, bioenergetics and sport and exercise nutrition, among others.
