Opportunities for performance exist in instrumental, vocal and conducting areas. Those specialising in composition will enhance and advance their skills, and students of musicology and ethnomusicology will learn skills in relevant research techniques and undertake research projects at an advanced level. All students will develop the capacity for critical reflection and informed assessment in the relevant field. Career outcomes include music performance, musicology, ethnomusicology, composition, music education and pedagogy, and contemporary music. Exit points: Students who have successfully completed one semester of the course may apply to exit with a Graduate Certificate of Arts. Those who have completed one year full-time may apply to exit with a Graduate Diploma in Music.
