Applicants are also required to complete an audition, test, interview, workshop, portfolio or folio presentation, as prescribed by the Academic Board for the Major to which entry is sought:

• performance audition; and
• prior academic performance.

Additional

Applicants apply for a Major in the Bachelor of Music. You will be required to submit more than one audition if you apply for multiple majors or instruments. Please check the requirements for each major as they may differ. AMEB examinations are not a prerequisite for entry to the Bachelor of Music, but multi-year attainment in the AMEB system of repertoire, technical work (scales, arpeggios, etc.) and theory provides a strong preparation for our program.
