The Bachelor of Music Studies provides a major practical study in Composition or Music Technology or permits a mix of instrumental studies to be taken in conjunction with studies in Ethnomusicology and Musicology, providing different perspectives on the cultural study of music.
The major in Integrated Studies provides different perspectives on the cultural study of music. Musicology offers an introduction to the history, philosophy and science of music. The course provides skills in the transcribing, editing and criticism of early and more recent music. Ethnomusicology explores methods and issues for studying music in its cultural context and seeks to understand the relationship between musical cultures. Specialisations are available in Popular Culture together with Asian and Aboriginal music.
A range of complementary electives are also available including Popular Music, World Music, Music Technology and the Media, but electives may also be presented from the broader range of ensemble courses.
The program includes 24 weeks tuition in a Practical Study which can include an instrumental or vocal study or composition. A mix of 1:1 tuition and workshops is provided in composition, music technology and instrumental or vocal areas. A component of core studies common to the three Bachelor degrees is also taken.
Students may be required to incur some additional costs as part of their program. These include performance tour costs, concert visits, instrument purchase or hire, purchase of a RCD if using electrical equipment, recording, text books and scores, purchase of microphones, etc.
Some financial assistance is provided to help with the cost of essential accompaniment in examinations. Students need to budget for any additional accompaniment.

For advice about the following Integrated Studies specialisation, please contact the staff member listed:
A full range of Honours music programs are available incorporating one
year of a major study focussed on your area of specialisation.
A double degree is available with the Bachelor of Arts and any of the
three degree programs offered by the Conservatorium (Bachelor of Music,
Bachelor of Music Education or Bachelor of Music Studies). Students
will graduate with both qualifications at the end of their study.
Undertaking the double-degree option will add two more years on to the
time required to complete. If you are interested in this possibility,
you will need to apply for the combined Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of
Music program through SATAC (course code 314081), audition as usual and
then subsequently enrol in the appropriate Music program if you receive
an offer of admission. For full details about each program, please
consult the separate entries for the Bachelor of Arts and the various
specialisations in Music.
As part of a 'stand alone' Bachelor of Arts program,
students are permitted to study courses offered by the Elder
Conservatorium of Music which do not require instrumental, vocal or
other performance skills. Admission to those particular courses are

Music programs at the University of Adelaide seek not only to lead students towards the highest standards of personal achievement but to encourage flexibility, creativity and confidence which are essential ingredients of a successful career. Graduates can follow a variety of professional pathways and the majority combine two or more different activities through most of their working career.
Performance studies can lead to employment in the professional music field as a soloist, accompanist, chamber musician, orchestral player or a studio teacher. Majors in other areas may lead to employment in the fields of music education, composition, broadcasting or research. Graduates may also be employed as arts administrators, community musicians or academics. Jazz musicians may be employed in bands or other performance ensembles.Community Musician, Music within the Indigenous Community, Musician / Singer, Music Technologist
