Bachelor of Music / Bachelor of Education for 2009

Course overview

This course is designed to prepare students for combination careers in music and education. Students combine studies of music with the theory and practice of teaching, and qualify as music professionals and secondary teachers. The education studies provide an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and teaching practice. Students gain an understanding of the nature of education, classroom teaching and practice in schools, and the relationship between education and society. The studies in music introduce students to the fundamentals of music within a practical, theoretical, critical, historical and contextual framework. Students develop skills in musical performance and musicology, and complete two major study sequences in music - one of performance, and one of musicology, composition or ethnomusicology or an approved combination of more than one of these areas.

The double degree Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Education requires the successful completion of units totalling 216 credit points. The study equivalent to achieve 216 credit points would normally be 4.5 years of full time study; however this course has been structured to allow completion in just 4 years full-time or 8 years part-time. This is made possible by the incorporation of a 12 credit point study overload in Music in the third year and a 12 credit point study overload in the final year of the course.
