Overview
Academics at Parvis School of Economics and Music are defined by intellectual rigor, creative exploration, and real-world relevance. We provide a comprehensive educational pathway from secondary school through postgraduate study, with each level carefully designed to build on the one before. Our curriculum balances theoretical knowledge with practical experience, ensuring that students not only excel in examinations but also develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The academic culture at Parvis is one of curiosity and cross-disciplinary collaboration – economics students attend musical performances as part of their cultural education, and music students might learn about the business of the arts. This integrated approach reflects our belief that the best learning occurs when subjects inform and enrich one another.
Secondary Education (High School)
Our High School programme offers a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum that lays a strong foundation for university study. Students typically pursue qualifications such as A-Levels (or equivalent) with specialisations in subjects like Economics, Business Studies, Music, Fine Arts, Mathematics, and the Sciences. We place particular emphasis on STEM and creative subjects, encouraging students to excel in both. The high school curriculum is enriched with research projects, music performances, and enterprise competitions to give students a taste of higher-level academic and practical work. Dedicated teachers and mentors guide students through coursework and independent projects, ensuring they develop effective study habits and a passion for learning. Graduates of our secondary programme are well-prepared to enter top universities worldwide or continue into Parvis’s own undergraduate programmes.
Undergraduate Programmes
Our undergraduate degrees span the fields of economics, business, arts, design, and technology, reflecting the interdisciplinary spirit of Parvis. Students can choose from programmes in:
- Economics and Business (e.g., BSc Economics, BSc Business Administration)
- Music and Performing Arts (e.g., BA Music Performance, BA Music Composition)
- Design and Creative Media (e.g., BA Design, BSc Digital Media Technology)
- Science and Technology (e.g., BSc Computer Science, BEng Engineering Technology)
All undergraduate programmes are 3 to 4 years in length (full-time) and accredited to high UK educational standards. Our curriculum combines core theoretical modules with hands-on projects, internships, and optional study-abroad opportunities. Economics and business students might take modules in music management or cultural economics, while music and arts students might learn about entrepreneurship in the arts. This flexibility allows students to tailor their education to their interests and career goals. Throughout their studies, undergraduates benefit from personalised academic advising, access to cutting-edge facilities, and numerous performance and research opportunities. The result is a well-rounded education that equips Parvis graduates with expertise in their chosen field and a broad, adaptable skill set.
Postgraduate Programmes
Parvis School offers postgraduate programmes aimed at advanced scholarly and professional development. Our taught master’s degrees include options such as:
These one-year or two-year programmes allow students to deepen their expertise and engage in specialised study under the guidance of experienced faculty. We emphasise research and practical application: postgraduates may undertake a major dissertation or capstone project, often in collaboration with industry partners or as part of ongoing faculty research initiatives. For those interested in research careers, we also offer opportunities for doctoral study (PhD) in select disciplines, supported by our developing research centres. Postgraduate students at Parvis benefit from a rich academic environment – including seminars, masterclasses by visiting experts, and conferences – that prepares them to become innovators and leaders in academia, industry, or the arts.
Interdisciplinary Curriculum and Innovation
A hallmark of academics at Parvis is our interdisciplinary curriculum. We actively encourage students to step outside the confines of their primary field and explore the intersections between disciplines. Joint courses and electives enable economics students to study the fundamentals of music theory, or music students to learn about the economics of the creative industries. Collaborative projects bring together teams from business, design, and engineering programmes to solve real-world problems, such as developing a music education app or launching a sustainable business startup. This culture of academic innovation is supported by our faculty, who often collaborate across departments – for instance, a professor of finance and a professor of music might co-teach a course on the global music industry. By blending perspectives and methodologies, we help students discover new ways of thinking and foster an adaptable mindset that is highly valued in today’s complex world.
Academic Resources and Support
Parvis provides extensive academic resources to support student learning and research. Our library and digital resource centre give students access to thousands of books, academic journals, and media from economics, arts, and scientific fields. We also offer specialized facilities such as a high-tech Finance and Analytics Lab, professional-grade recording studios, design fabrication labs, and science laboratories, all of which serve as hubs for student projects and experimentation. Academic support is readily available through faculty office hours, tutoring services, and writing workshops to help students excel in their coursework. Each student is also assigned an academic advisor who guides their academic journey, helping with course selection, career planning, and graduate study applications. The emphasis on support ensures that every student, whether in high school or postgraduate research, can achieve their full potential.
