The Bachelor of Music (Specialisation) is designed to provide specialist training in jazz and popular music, and music technology. Students are involved in a comprehensive conservatoire style environment with expectations of high standards of performance, musicianship and scholarship. A rigorous performance schedule in various University, community and professional settings is one of the strengths of this program, as is the development of individual skill in a supportive, collaborative environment. A range of adjunct courses and electives allows students to pursue additional studies in music, or add other allied skills and knowledge in areas of professional and personal interest such as other creative arts and arts administration, events management, education, multimedia design, business and professional communication to their study programs.

To qualify for the award of bachelor of Music (Specialisation) students must complete a total of 24 courses, 144 units of credit.

12 compulsory music and performance courses

2 core music courses

1 specialisation (10 courses including electives)

The schedule is designed for full-time students who usually enrol in 4 courses per term (24 units of credit). Part-time students should, therefore, modify the schedule to meet their own needs - observing all pre and co-requisite requirements.
