Print version

Course overview

This four and a half year full-time degree is designed to prepare students for combination careers in education and music. Students combine studies of music with the theory and practice of teaching and graduates qualify as music professionals and primary teachers. The education studies provide an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and teaching practice, covering all key learning areas. 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. The course is undertaken between the Peninsula (primary education units) and Clayton (music units) campuses.
