Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
A typical Music & Performing Arts degree builds from foundations to specialist options and a final project. You'll usually start with principal-study lessons, ensembles and performance classes, alongside musicianship, harmony and aural skills. Early modules ground you in repertoire and its history from early music to the present day. In Year 2, recitals and larger ensemble projects deepen your technique, whilst you develop composition or music technology skills and gain teaching and community music experience. In your final year, you'll pursue a specialist pathway such as performance, composition, musicology, music production, music education or ensembles, learn the business side of music, funding, promotion and portfolio careers, and complete a final recital, portfolio or major project.
Who it's for
This course suits students interested in combining classical languages with music study. You'll engage with core theory, research and methods, applied practice, specialist options, an independent project, and professional skills development. The blend of humanities disciplines offers flexibility for those pursuing interdisciplinary interests in the arts.

International students
What applying to University of Glasgow from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by University of Glasgow; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Glasgow’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Glasgow and gov.uk before you apply.
