For information on the Bachelor of Music for students commencing in 2012 please click HERE.

The information below is only for students who commenced prior to 2012.

The School of Music offers students a broad range of courses and provides highly specialist practical and personal skills from a wide variety of musical periods, styles and cultures. Students become part of a community that is supportive, professional and respectfully competitive, while developing critical, analytical and enquiry-based approaches to the interpretation and understanding of music.

The Bachelor of Music is a three year degree with majors in Performance, Jazz Performance, Composition or Musicology with the option of a 4th year at Honours level.  Students wishing to undertake an additional year at ‘Pass' level may apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Music (Specialist) degree at the end of their third year.  

Prerequisites

Entry to the degree is by audition.  In addition, applicants must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification (or a qualification deemed equivalent by the University).

It is assumed that students admitted to the BMus program will be literate in music and will have a working knowledge of basic music theory (eg. the ability to read treble and bass clefs, and an understanding of note values, time signatures, key signatures, scales and intervals).
