Course structure

The combined course for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music degrees enables students to take out both degrees after four years full-time study with an overload of 6 points in one semester. Students complete 198 points in core arts and music components.

For the arts component of the double degree, students must complete 96 arts points (studies drawn from disciplines offered by schools other than Music in the Faculty of Arts), including a major, a minor, another first-year sequence and a further 12 points at second or third-year level.
For the music component of the double degree, students must complete 102 music points (studies offered by the School of Music - Conservatorium in the Faculty of Arts) in approved combinations of units in music performance, composition, musicology and ethnomusicology. The 102 music points must consist of 36 points at first-year level (MUS1100/MUS1110, MUS1980/MUS1990, and either MUS1120/MUS1130 or MUS1040 and MUS1060), 36 points at second-year level (MUS2020/MUS2030, MUS 2110/2120, MUS2980/MUS2990) and 30 points at third-year level (MUS3390, MUS3980/ 3990 and 12 points from MUS3310, MUS3330, MUS3490, MUS3580, MUS3610, MUS3620, MUS3660, MUS3830, MUS3860, MUS3880, MUS3910).
Note that students cannot graduate from either degree until they have satisfied the requirements for either the arts component or the music component and have successfully completed studies to the value of 144 points. Students undertaking the above double degree program are permitted to count up to 48 points of music or 42 points of arts units towards those 144 points. Students must also complete at least 36 points at third-year level.
