BA Music and East Asian Studies

Comments about BA Music and East Asian Studies - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  The BA in Music and East Asian Studies is a Dual Honours course, which allows you to combine the study of two subjects. Music: An extensive range of modules in level one allows you to define your own modular programme through levels two and three. You may wish to specialise at level three in composition, dissertation or performance. A personal tutor will work with you over three years to help you make the most of your studies and encourage you to excel. Lectures, seminars and group tutorials are reinforced by individual supervision or feedback. Most of the music element of this degree is assessed through projects, performances and coursework, giving you a chance to develop your own skills and interests in an independent and creative manner. The Performance module at level one is assessed by a short recital. The level three Instrumental or Vocal Recital is given in public. While following a recital track you are given tuition on your principal instrument. East Asian Studies: The East Asian Studies side of the degree covers modern China, Japan and Korea, providing a unique perspective of one of the economically most important regions of the world in the twenty-first century. Lecture modules include both comparative modules (covering all three countries) and country-specific modules. Modules take a contemporary social science perspective, and include various topics, including modern history, society, business, economics, population and environment, identity, and linguistics. There are also modules in East Asian languages available. This course is run jointly by the Department of Music and School of East Asian Studies.
