BMus. Music

The BMus Music degree at the University of Education, Winneba, is for students who want to study music in depth. Based in the School of Creative Arts, it combines practical performance with music theory and history. You will develop both creative and intellectual skills that open many career paths.

What a music degree covers

In a programme like this, you typically study practical performance on your main instrument or voice, alongside music theory, ear training, and composition. You also explore music history and the cultural role of music, including both Western classical and African musical traditions. These studies help you understand music from the inside out, preparing you to work as a musician, teacher, or creator.

How competitive is entry?

This programme is less competitive than many other degree courses, so if you have a genuine interest in music and meet the University of Education, Winneba's general entry requirements, you have a good chance of being admitted. You should still check the specific WASSCE subject requirements for the School of Creative Arts to confirm you qualify.

Studying at the School of Creative Arts

The BMus is offered within the School of Creative Arts, which hosts other artistic disciplines such as theatre, dance, and visual arts. This gives you a supportive environment where you can learn alongside other creative students and take part in collaborative productions. Studying music in this context exposes you to a wider artistic community and helps you build a professional network.
