The Bachelor of Music is designed to provide specialist training in all aspects of classical and/or contemporary music performance, studio teaching and composition. The title of the program is an indication of its versatility. Students are able to specialise in music whilst having the advantage of access to other art forms available on campus. The resultant opportunity for creating individual combinations of the various art forms is a particular feature of the program.

Students who choose to undertake the program as part of the 'Virtual Conservatorium' are required to enrol in the program and its courses as an external student.

To satisfy the requirements of the award, students must complete 144 units of credit.
