Overview

This course is aimed at professional performers and composers, music producers, music studio personnel and music educators.

Entry requirements

Entry to the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma requires a bachelor degree with an overall grade point average of 4.5 or above (on a 7-point scale) and experience relevant to the music pathway selected by the applicant.

Applicants without a bachelor degree, with a bachelor degree with a grade point average of less than 4.5, or with a diploma from TAFE or an appropriate non-university private provider, may be required to enrol in the Graduate Certificate with the possibility of articulation into the Graduate Diploma if they achieve a grade point average of 4.5 or above in the Graduate Certificate. Applicants will only be permitted to enrol in a Graduate Diploma with the approval of the postgraduate coursework degrees coordinator, in consultation with the relevant subject area coordinator.

Masters applicants should possess either a three-year music degree with an overall grade point average of 5 or above (on a 7-point scale) or approved diploma in music from a university or documentary evidence of a successful career as a music industry professional considered equivalent to a three-year degree. Prior to admission, applicants must submit and have approved a project proposal.
