Overview

The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music double degree allows you compliment your passion for music with the breadth of the humanities and social sciences. Explore the history, culture or language of the music you're playing, or add to your career flexibility with music through theatre, performance, film or journalism.

Throughout your Music study you'll have weekly one-to-one lessons, learn from accomplished music staff and engage with international artists. You'll specialise in Music performance (classical or jazz), Composition and music technology, or Popular music, while enjoying the flexibility of 30+ areas of study via your Arts degree.

You will gain all the benefits of each degree and be fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in your chosen work. You could pursue a career in the arts sector, performance, music instruction or composing, or in interdisciplinary roles, such as production, arts management, policy or coaching.
