Music Degree Courses at WaterBear

BA (Hons) and Master’s music degree courses 

At WaterBear we offer a selection of music degree courses for today's musicians, artists and music industry professionals. Our courses are designed in collaboration with our partners at Falmouth University, a pioneer in creative industries education, entrepreneurship and innovation.

Our BA (Hons) music degree courses all have music at their heart, whether it be performing, producing, creating, or business-focused. The courses are built on 3 fundamental pillars – your music, your career and your music projects. All study modules relate to one or more of those 3 areas.
