Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Music, Performance blends general arts knowledge with music performance. Students will focus on music history, theory and performance. It is open to graduates or current students of the Vancouver Academy of Music and The Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry to the Bachelor of Music, Performance is by transfer credential rather than direct high-school admission: applicants must have completed the Vancouver Academy of Music Diploma programme, or the Glenn Gould School's Royal Conservatory Performance Diploma programme, and are directed to contact that institution about its own residency requirements. Applicants must complete a minimum of 15 TRU credits (online or on-campus), and must maintain a GPA of 2.00 or higher across all courses required for the credential once admitted. The page states no separate language-test requirement; Thompson Rivers University's general standard for direct entry into an undergraduate bachelor's programme is IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20, published on TRU's international English-requirements page.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to TRU: for the September (Fall) intake the deadline is 1 May, for January (Winter) it is 1 September, and for the May (Summer) intake it is 1 January; applications for most programs open 1 October, and a deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day. International applicants follow the same intake structure with deadlines of 1 May (September), 1 October (January) and 1 February (May); TRU still reviews later applications where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early, so admission runs on a rolling basis around these published cut-offs for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
