Music is a powerful and evocative art form. As a student in the Music major you'll develop knowledge about the many social and historical meanings of music. You'll also better appreciate its written and aural complexities, and approach the study of Western music in a challenging and engaging way. Courses include critical perspectives on, and historical knowledge about music, along with written and aural skills. In the extended major you'll have a choice of two streams: Musicology (the scholarly study of music) and Professional (which is designed for students who are interested in music education).

The Bachelor of Arts provides you with a well-rounded education, the ability to think and analyse, to write effectively, and the specialist knowledge gained in your major. As a result, a BA opens up a range of career opportunities including but not limited to:

• advertising, marketing, PR and media
• arts curatorship
• communications
• community/voluntary sector
• foreign affairs and trade
• government sector
• project management
• theatre direction and production.

Alternatively, you may choose to progress to honours, which further enhances your career prospects. Many employers, such as those in the public and finance sectors, require you to hold an honours degree.
