Music BA (Hons) at University of Sussex

Entry requirements

Typical offer: BBB Subjects: You must have evidence of strong music ability. You might have A-level Music or Music Technology (with at least grade B in either) or an equivalent Level 3 qualification, such as a BTEC in Music or International Baccalaureate HL Certificate in Music (see ‘Other UK Qualifications’ drop-down menu below for full details of entry requirements). You may have a performance or theory qualification from one of the accredited boards such as ABSRM or Rock School. You may have other evidence of strong performance, composition or professional experience from outside your academic studies. If you are applying without a formal music qualification, but otherwise have a strong UCAS application, we will probably ask you to submit evidence of your music ability as part of our selection process. You might, for example, be asked to provide a portfolio of compositions or songs/tracks or recordings of public performances, or a combination of these. You should describe your musical experience thoroughly in your personal statement. GCSEs: You should also have a broad range of GCSEs 9-4 (A*-C), including good grades in relevant subjects. Extended Project Qualification: We take the EPQ into account when considering your application and it can be useful in the summer when your results are released if you have narrowly missed the conditions of your offer. We do not routinely include the EPQ in the conditions of your offer but we sometimes offer alternative conditions that include the EPQ.
