When students take the Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Education degree in combination, they are able to complete both courses in four years of full-time study. A feature of this course is its interdisciplinary approach to the teaching of some units.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education, a student
must successfully complete units totalling 204 points consisting of the
following:
(a) Studies in music (108 points). There are two major study sequences in
music, one of which is performance and the other is either musicology,
composition or ethnomusicology (or an approved combination of more than one of
these areas).
For
information on the requirements of all music studies offered, refer to the
`Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website at
http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.
(b) Studies in education (96 points), a series of units relating to the theory
and practice of education, teaching and curriculum. Fieldwork placements are
also included.
Progressively over the course, students will be completing more of the
education component, until the final year, which will be entirely education.
For
the education component of the double degree, primary units will be offered at
Peninsula campus except for first-year units (ie EDF1301 and EDF1302), which
will be undertaken at Clayton campus.
For the music component of the double degree, units will be offered at the
Clayton campus.
(All first-year education and music units undertaken at Clayton campus.)
plus 36 points of approved music studies at first-year level:
plus two of the following units:
(All second-year education units undertaken at Peninsula campus.)
plus 36 points of approved music studies at second-year level (all music units undertaken at Clayton campus):
(All third-year education units undertaken at Peninsula campus.)
plus 36 points of approved music studies at third-year level (all music units undertaken at Clayton campus):
(All fourth-year units undertaken at Peninsula campus.)
This is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the course will progress. It is subject to change without notice.
* Note that for the BMus/BEd - primary stream, all music units will be undertaken at the Clayton campus and all education units will be undertaken at the Peninsula campus, except for EDF1301 and EDF1302, which will be undertaken at Clayton campus.
Students must successfully complete teaching practice, which consists of 80 days of supervised school experience. Students who are employed in schools must complete a minimum of 40 days of supervised fieldwork in a setting other than the school in which they are employed.
On completion of the double degrees, graduates will have a sound preparation for entry into the music education and training professions. Graduates will be eligible for employment as teachers in Victoria. For interstate and overseas positions, applicants are advised to check with local authorities. Opportunities also exist for further studies.
