Choosing between two areas that interest you can be hard, so this double degree course enables you to make the most of your talents and study both science and music. Physics, mathematics and music have been related for millennia in the art and science of acoustics but the links are much more extensive. The latest developments in physics, psychology, human biology, materials science, information science and statistical analysis all give us new answers to ancient questions about music - what it is, why we make it, how we make it, why we listen to it and how it is changing. Whether your music specialisation is in composition and music technology, music performance or popular music, a broad understanding of science will illuminate and enrich the experience. And if your main focus is science, music expertise will offer interesting opportunities not available to everyone - perhaps working on treatments for auditory conditions or mapping sound to interaction.
