(it seems that in the UK, music at universities require little or no performance)
Well, if a first degree is full-time at 5 days per week, then this is half-time, at 2 1/2 days per week. Actual attendance at University for lectures is less, of course, but probably on campus for 2 (part) days per week. It does involve performing - see http://www.colchester.ac.uk/swinburne/events/default.htm - quite a few of these are students. Apart from the fact that it's quite close, I chose this because of the emphasis on theory and performing. The selection process involved performing 2 songs, and some on-the-fly theory - quite simple stuff, but theory all the same.
Also, isn't the (Hons) decided when you graduate, not when you appy? ;)
No - you have to be on an Hons course to start with. I think that if you get to the 3rd year, you either get Hons or fail.
