Handbook

The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) six-year Dual degree program enables you to complete a Major in Advanced Science (Honours) as well 24-48 UOC of project or thesis work in Science while studying for a specialist music program that offers intensive pre-professional training in one of four streams: Music Creative Practice, Musicology, Sonic Arts and Music Pedagogy. All streams are supported by a variety of large and small, western and non-western music ensembles as well as extensive opportunities for developing musicianship skills.

The Advanced Science (Honours) program is designed to challenge you with an interest in critical thinking, research and innovation. The development of depth of understanding and practical skills in a discipline is a key part of the program; however, the degree also focuses on instilling a culture of research and enquiry through early induction into the research ethos and access to research groups and facilities. In their final year students undertake an Honours program, which involves a supervised research project and in some cases advanced level coursework. Outstanding Honours students may continue their studies in a higher research degree.
