Music features in every culture and society around the world, whether for enjoyment or to express and understand messages and ideas. The global music industry is growing and changing, and music professionals now have more career options available to them than ever before.
With a MusB, you can choose from four specialised majors to get you closer to your career in music.
Admission to UC with University Entrance (or equivalent) is required to enrol.
If English is your additional language, you are also required to meet UC's English language requirements.
See Admission and enrolment for all information on enrolling at UC.
The Bachelor of Music is open to everyone (except for the Performance major — see below). Having some previous study or knowledge of music will be especially helpful.
Entry to some first-year Performance courses are limited based on an audition with an instrument or in singing.
Applications for 2025 have now closed. However, late audition applications will be considered at the discretion of UC Music. Please contact [email protected] if you are wanting to submit a late application for 2025 performance study.
Please use this form to apply to audition for 2026. The form contains key information on the audition process.
English language courses offered in partnership with CCEL will prepare you for study at Foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate degree level. The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses offered by CCEL are designed to provide you with the specific language and study skills you will need to succeed in academic study.
Further details and application form are available from the CCEL site.
