Music and Engineering Joint Degree Help!

Hi Everyone,

My brother is looking at applying to university to start in 2024. He likes both music performance and engineering (not sound engineering more along the lines of robotics, mechanical and electronic engineering). He's going to apply to conservatoires to study the piano but also wants to apply to a joint music and engineering degree. The problem is he can't really find anywhere that does that option. Does anyone have any suggestions of university's that do run a course along those lines. He's open to study abroad but if there's a uni in the UK that has what he wants that would be perfect. We found Northwestern university in Illinois which had a programme that he really liked the look of and wondered if there was anything similar elsewhere as well. If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi there,

I would have a look at the University of Glasgow. They do a BEng/MEng Engineering and Music. I personally don't think their music department is very good and their practice facilities for pianists are dismal compared to every other university I have seen. Still worth a look though. Maybe the music course will be the kind of thing he's looking for.
