Our course covers a broad range of music, as well as a great variety of ways of thinking about and understanding music, ranging from medieval plainchant to the blues, and from advanced analysis to the study of music and science. It has a strong academic component, particularly focusing on history, analysis, composition and performance, but also offers a range of other topics.

Cambridge is everything the Oxbridge stereotype tells you - it's challenging, it's grand, it's academically focused, it's stunningly beautiful and it's intense. But it's also everything the stereotype doesn't tell you - it's still a normal student experience. The town has everything you could possibly want or need within a few minutes walk of most colleges (yes, even nightlife, provided you don't mind cheesy music); it has student clubs for every sport, art form and interest under the sun (including an Ice Cream Appreciation society); and it's filled with the most diverse, friendly and accepting group of people you'll ever meet.
Unbeatable. I love Cambridge and I love its University. No matter who you are, there’s something, somewhere or someone at this University for you. Everyone should apply here, at least to have the chance to experience what I’ve had the luck to live over the past two years. It can’t be described in words and there’s nothing quite like it...
