Music Performance Diploma

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Music Performance Diploma requires one of: a C+ in English 12, or a C in English 12 Camosun Alternative. Applicants submit two forms — the standard Camosun application and a Victoria Conservatory of Music (VCM) application carrying its own CAD 105 fee — against three yearly application deadlines (February 28, April 15 and May 1). The VCM process requires proof of assessment in three areas: Performance (demonstrated ability on a principal instrument through repertoire and technique matched to the applicant's professional goals, with evidence of prior music activity); Aural Theory (pitch-matching, singing basic melodic intervals, and identifying basic chords and scales by ear); and Written Theory, assessed via a Theory Placement Assessment unless the applicant has already completed MUSF 121, MUSC 111, or RCM Grade 8 theory with a C or higher. No minimum GPA and no separate English-language test score (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE) are published on the programme's admissions page.
