Overview

There is a synergy between music and science, so why not pursue both and create a career in either field or combine the two in your chosen work.

When specialising in Music Performance (Classical/Jazz), a broad understanding of science will illuminate and enrich the experience. Physics, maths and music are related in the art and science of acoustics, but the links are more extensive. Developments in physics, psychology, human biology, materials science, information science and statistical analysis provide answers to questions about music.

If your main focus is science, music expertise will offer interesting career opportunities - perhaps working on treatments for auditory conditions or mapping sound to interaction as well as new jobs dedicated to the many effects of music, music perception or the performance and technical underpinnings of instruments.
