You'll advance your practical skills, collaborate with international artists and study with accomplished teaching staff. You'll engage with the historical, creative, technical and cultural aspects of music, broaden your perspectives on music in the world, and lay the foundations for a career in music.

Become a music creator of the future. In this specialisation you’ll develop skills in composition for acoustic and electronic instruments, song-writing and music for other media such as film and video games. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with performance students, write for international visiting artists and make your own recording projects.

In addition to testing composition techniques in performance scenarios, you’ll learn how to engage with the variety of music technology in the industry for composing, recording, mixing, mastering, interactive music and software programming. Through our partnership with the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS), you’ll have access to vintage electronic equipment, and the school provides an innovative studio and recording space. Our ongoing program of local, national and international visiting artists and workshops means you’ll create established contacts with industry and will be prepared for global career opportunities
