The double degree of Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Commerce requires a minimum of four years full-time study, or five years for the degree with honours, or the equivalent in part-time study. Entry to this double degree is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Music and the Bachelor of Commerce degrees. To qualify for the award, students must complete subjects to the value of a minimum of 188 credit points over the length of the course, of which ninety-six points should come from subjects offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics and ninety-two points (or two major sequences) from subjects offered by the Faculty of Arts in the Bachelor of Music degree.
Students take approved combinations of subjects in (i) music performance, composition, arranging and musicology including classical and popular music and in (ii) accounting and finance, economics and management.
Music
Students choose ninety-two points in music from the following:
* MUS1100/1110 Exploring Western music I and II* (6 points each)
* MUS1140/1150 Ensemble/choral music workshop I and II (6 points each)
* MUS1070/1080 Orchestral performance and repertoire I and II (6 points each)
* MUS1980/1990* Solo and duo performance and literature I and II* (6 points each)
* MUS1040 Music and popular culture in the twentieth century (6 points)
* MUS2110/2120 Analytical and compositional techniques I and II* (4 points each)
* MUS2070/2080 Ensemble/choral music workshop I and II (4 points each)
* MUS2660 Music composition workshop (4 points)
* MUS2980/2990 Solo and duo performance and literature I and II (4 points each)
* MUS2510/2520 Orchestral performance and repertoire II and IV (4 points each)
* MUS3390 Music aesthetics, criticism, sociology and psychology (4 points)
* MUS3580 Contemporary music (4 points)
* MUS3970 Music pedagogy (4 points)
* Compulsory subjects
Commerce
Students must normally complete the compulsory first-year subjects ECM1020 and ECM1031\1032 (Business and economic statistics), AAF1021\1022 and AAF1031\1032 (Accounting), and ECO1020 (Economics) and ECO1030 (Macroeconomics) in the first year of the course. Each subject is worth six points. These could be combined with the first-year subject sequence from music to complete the first-year program. The exception to this arrangement, however, is for those students wishing to undertake a management studies specialisation in their degree. In this case students may delay the completion of one of the first-year compulsory sequences to a later year, in order to complete the subjects MGC1020 (Introduction to management) and MGC1030 (Organisational behaviour) in the first year. Management studies would then become the category A specialisation for such students. In subsequent years students choose a major sequence in at least one of the discipline areas of accounting and finance, economics, econometrics or management. This requires at least three subjects in the discipline at each of the second and third-year levels.
Students wishing to complete a specialisation in accounting and finance, and who wish to become eligible for membership of the professional accounting bodies in Australia, must complete the following subjects: AAF1021/1022, AAF1031/1032, AAF2110, AAF2120, AAF2130, AAF2140, AAF3110, AAF3120, AAF3130 or AAF3140, AAF3150 and AAF3160.
Before enrolling for the double degree, students should collect from the faculty office of either faculty an information sheet setting out a number of course structure options available for the combined degree.
