Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Music at the University of Regina is a four-year program offered through the Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance, with specialization streams in performance (vocal or instrumental), comprehensive music, composition, and history. Admission requires an audition. The curriculum combines private studio lessons for technique and artistry with courses in the history, analysis, and theory of historical and contemporary music, conducting instruction, and ensemble participation, alongside courses such as video game music and creating music with technology. The program is delivered on the University of Regina's main campus, within a faculty the university describes as a close-knit community of composers, performers, and historians. It suits students pursuing focused training in music performance, composition, or musicology who are prepared to audition for entry. Graduates pursue careers as professional musicians, conductors, composers for media, instrument makers, recording industry professionals, and music librarians, drawing on the specialization stream they pursued within the degree.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The program page for the Bachelor of Music states one program-specific requirement: an audition is required. Beyond that it links to the university's general Application Guide and undergraduate calendar rather than stating its own academic criteria, so the Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance's Fall 2027 early-conditional average of 65% across four high-school courses applies (English Language Arts plus three further approved math, science, social science, language or fine-art courses). International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency of IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 83 (overall 4.5 on the revised scale from 21 January 2026), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo 120.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
