What you study	Interdisciplinary Studies Music Physics	Chemistry Interdisciplinary Studies Music
What it is	You study music and physics together over five years, learning both how sound and music work scientifically and how to perform or compose music as an art. Unlike a regular music or physics degree, you complete a full curriculum in both fields rather than minoring in one, which means deeper training in each. This suits students genuinely interested in both disciplines and willing to commit to a demanding combined program.	You study chemistry and music together over five years instead of the usual four. Chemistry covers atoms, reactions, and lab work; music covers performance, theory, and composition. This program suits people genuinely interested in both fields who want a full degree in each, not just a minor or elective courses alongside a major.
