Overview

Music Studies

As a B.A. student, you will follow two areas of study during the first year, but if you qualify and wish to proceed to the honours track, then you may continue with one area of study (in this case, music), in addition to a limited number of credits in the subsidiary area to be taken during the second year.

During the Music Studies and Philosophy with Politics course offered by University of Malta you will follow a range of theoretical, historical and practical study-units in music. You are also encouraged to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme, as they believe a multicultural and international learning experience will provide a holistic academic journey.

Philosophy with Politics

By following the B. A in Philosophy with Politics, you will be immersing yourself in the world of political ideas.

This programme is designed to help you get to grips with the questions that dominate the contemporary political landscape. The perennial questions of philosophy, such as ‘What is Justice?’ and ‘How do we achieve a just society?’ are central to this course and they will be re-examined from the perspectives of several contemporary political philosophers.

During your studies, you will be strongly encouraged both to debate and defend your position as well as adopt a critical attitude towards the authors you encounter.

Careers

As a graduate in this programme of study you will have several career opportunities, both locally and internationally. Teaching is a popular option if you want to make direct use of the subject knowledge.

Other career opportunities include jobs in the recording industry, work in cultural management and administration, in the media and entertainment, or in libraries and archives, to mention a few. In addition, a degree in music is sometimes considered as an asset by employers seeking formal certification of professional training in creativity from prospective employees.

A B.A. in music studies may also lead to postgraduate studies in music, both in Malta and abroad, if you wish to further your studies for a more holistic academic background.
