University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
About this program
UQ's Bachelor of Music (Honours) is a research-focused year for musicians who want to explore a specialist area of music in depth before moving into a professional or academic music career. Students combine advanced coursework with planning and completing a substantial research or creative project, developing independent investigation skills alongside performance, analysis and research work under close academic supervision. Core courses include research design in arts and culture, and the honours research thesis itself, taught by nationally and internationally recognised music academics and performers. The program is designed as a direct pathway into postgraduate music study and research as much as into performance careers. Typical graduate roles include music researcher, music critic, music tutor and music producer, alongside performance and composition careers.
