Bachelor of Music (Honours)

Về khóa học

This one-year honours program treats musical practice as a research-led process. Students complete 48 units focused on advanced research training and a major honours project. The centrepiece is an original research output, undertaken as a substantial written thesis or as a creative project (such as performance, composition, recording or other practice) accompanied by a shorter critical document. Study is delivered in person within ANU’s arts and social sciences portfolio.
