This Contemporary Music Performance degree is designed for those who wish to become professional musicians. It will develop your skills so you can work as a versatile musician and polished performer, able to respond and adapt to a range of professional music contexts. Your studies on this music degree will enable you to perform, produce and collaborate with others, benefitting from first class instrumental tuition from professional musicians.  You’ll experience composition, ensemble performance, improvisation and theory classes, all to help you to build your professional portfolio.

Performing in Cardiff’s vibrant music scene is part of your student experience, and you’ll be inspired by high-calibre masterclasses and events. You will be encouraged to work with students from other disciplines and will benefit from the creative community you can access through the University of South Wales.

The Contemporary Music Performance degree is currently open for musicians specialising in guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals and, from September 2019, Keyboards.
