Entry into the course

Entry is made directly in first year, or by conversion from the BA at the end of the first year at an acceptable standard, normally at credit level or higher. For students wishing to specialise in musicology or ethnomusicology there are no entry tests, but intending applicants should make an appointment for an interview with a department staff member. Students intending to specialise in composition are required to submit to the department up to three compositions that show the range and proficiency of their work, accompanied by a declaration that they are entirely their own work. Students intending to specialise in performance should prepare for audition not more than three pieces of music drawn from a varied repertoire, eg a work from the classical period, a work from the Romantic period, and another written in the twentieth century. The standard is normally at least 7th grade AMEB (Performance) or equivalent. Non-pianists must provide their own accompanists.
