About this course

The Bachelor of Music Honours is characterised by the concept of musical practice as a research-led process. The core of this program is a substantial piece of original research realised through either a standalone 20,000 word written document, or a project which is presented as a combination of performance, composition, recording, or other creative output and a 10,000 word written document.

Entry requirements

At a minimum, all applicants must meet program-specific academic/non-academic requirements, and English language requirements. Admission to ANU is on a competitive basis as the number of places available in a program is limited. Admission to Honours is also subject to supervisory capacity and approval from the relevant Delegated Authority within the Academic College.
