Bachelor of Music Industry (Major in Songwriting)

The Bachelor of Music Industry program is the most flexible and innovative music program in Australia. The program is designed to support emerging music professionals across all areas of the industry to work collaboratively, think innovatively, and create their own pathway into industry. Students choose one of the six pillars of the music industry as their major. These are: business, composition, music production, performance, song writing, and audio production. Students then tailor the remaining 50% of their course by choosing from a pool of over sixty subjects. Students can add either two minors, a minor and electives, or just electives to their major study area. In addition to the majors and electives, all students undertake common core subjects in the first two years of the program. This common core focuses on understanding the music industry, looking at the music industry from different perspectives, innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship, and looking at how to prepare themselves for the future of the music industry. The combination of the common-core, majors and minorelective units prepares the student to undertake their industry-mentored capstone project providing them with the perfect transition to the music industry.
