Congratulations! Is this one hour a day, two hours a day, or
what? And does it include music (performance) lessons? (it seems
that in the UK, music at universities require little or no
performance)
Well, if a first degree is full-time at 5 days per week, then this is
half-time, at 2 1/2 days per week. Actual attendance at University for
lectures is less, of course, but probably on campus for 2 (part) days per
week. It does involve performing - see
http://www.colchester.ac.uk/swinburne/events/default.htm - quite a few of
these are students. Apart from the fact that it's quite close, I chose this
because of the emphasis on theory and performing. The selection process
involved performing 2 songs, and some on-the-fly theory - quite simple
stuff, but theory all the same.
Also, isn't the (Hons) decided when you graduate, not when you
appy? ;)
No - you have to be on an Hons course to start with. I think that if you
get to the 3rd year, you either get Hons or fail.
