The Department of Music at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth is a vibrant, stimulating and friendly place in which to study, with all the benefits of being one of the Republic of Ireland's leading research communities. Situated in the historic leafy South Campus of NUI Maynooth, the Department of Music has an energetic and enthusiastic staff team, made up of specialists operating at the forefront of a varied range of disciplines. We offer a lively undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum, with the key areas of performance, composition, musicology and music technology lying at the heart of our activities. Three programmes are offered at the undergraduate level: a BMus degree, a BA degree, and a BA (Music Technology).  More detail on each of these strands is available in the section Studying Music at Maynooth. The Erasmus exchange programme, leading to an international degree, allows students to study abroad for an additional year, and is available to all undergraduates.

A degree in Music is a valuable asset for access to a wide range of careers, and music graduates are especially sought after in professions demanding a high level of confidence, communication skills, and expressive ability.
