Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) program in Professional Music combines core music fundamentals with business essentials, digital production and entertainment law, balancing performance training with music-industry skills. The program is full-time over four years and includes a mandatory 240-hour career-integrated internship, alongside experiential learning through industry networking and studio labs, with international exchange and Global Campus Studio options available. Admission follows a Grades-Plus process: alongside academic requirements, applicants submit a resume, a 250-word statement of intent plus either an artist demo or a music-business essay, and two reference forms, together with a non-refundable assessment fee. The program suits students preparing for careers as performing musicians, music producers or music-industry professionals who also want business and legal grounding, rather than students looking for a purely performance-focused music degree.
