The Master of Music is designed primarily for students wishing to develop existing skills and knowledge to an advanced level or to develop new areas of expertise in music relevant to the specific needs of the music profession or industry, and is undertaken by coursework over one year.

Prerequisites

For admission, account is taken of the nature and level of previous tertiary studies, and/or relevant professional experience, and the applicant’s motivation and objectives in undertaking the program.

Students are normally expected to audition or submit a folio of work, where relevant, and be interviewed in person at the School of Music. For overseas and interstate applicants, an audio/video recording and/or folio of work may be considered as a provisional audition.

As an entry level graduate program in music, the Master of Music is suitable for a candidate who is:

  • a music graduate, with an appropriate Pass degree plus relevant experience or an Honours degree at the level of second class, division A or above, and who can demonstrate an advanced level of skill and knowledge in a selected field;
  • an experienced and advanced practitioner who has no formal qualifications but who can demonstrate a level of knowledge and experience relevant to the program of study;
  • a graduate of a program in a field other than music, with an appropriate Pass degree and relevant experience or an Honours degree at the level of second class, division A or above, and who can show high level capacity or aptitude in the nominated field.

An applicant already pursuing a Graduate Diploma in Music or an equivalent award in another tertiary institution may be admitted to the Master of Music on the recommendation of the Prescribed Authority, who may determine such status as is appropriate.
