Studying music undergrad, having completed a foundation and first year. I am taking on a history module next year and it has made me think longer term, what my career goals are. While unsure, I believe graduating with a history degree will provide better opportunities than music. I am not looking to be a performer, rather a musicologist / ethnomusicologist which focuses on historical, political and social contexts to music. The study and analysis of music is needed for this job.

However, I have noticed in all of the papers I have handed in over the last two years, I get great feedback on context and not so great feedback on the music analysis. I know this is something to work on, but I have still be considering how easy it will be for me to find employment with such a niche set of skills, within a music degree. It is making me think I should have chosen a bachelors in history (major) while exploring music analysis as a minor. I don't think this is possible in uk universities and I have a couple other odds stacked against me.

I am a mature student with terrible A level results and got onto the music degree through studying a foundation year first. I don't have the history entry requirements but I'm waiting to hear back if the last two years of studying and passing with high marks would mean anything in letting me transfer. I don't think I can transfer to second year history as 'History pathways' are modules no one can transfer to. I'm not sure what history pathways means but assuming anything undergrad in the history department.

Any thoughts?
