About this course
The Bachelor of Music (a double major in Music) is an advanced, practical degree offering specialisations for composers, electronic musicians, musicologists, and performers. It also prepares students for progression to the MTeach program, as it embeds skills required for accreditation by the TRBWA.

The Bachelor of Music replaces the concurrent majors of Music Studies and Music Specialist Studies. While the majority of the units under a BMus will remain unchanged, the new BMus allows for inclusion of new specialisations (e.g. Music Technology, Musicology) and more structured capstone experiences in all specialisations.

The degree employs the internationally recognised "Bachelor of Music" (BMus) nomenclature, is more easily recognisable as a music degree internationally, and is a superior option for students wishing to progress to postgraduate studies, education, and working within the direct and allied professions of music.
