Overview

Bachelor of Creative Arts (Music)

A Bachelor of Creative Arts at UOW encourages you to immerse yourself creatively, critically and practically. 

The Creative Industries is one of the world's fastest-growing, most dynamic sectors.

The study of music integrates physical, intellectual and emotional aspects, including instrumental or vocal performance, composition, music production and recording, history and theory. 

This degree offers a deeper understanding of how music works and the skills to develop as a creative practitioner and prepare for a career in the arts.

This versatile, hands-on degree prepares you for a career in the global creative industries. 

With a strong focus on contemporary music practice, this major combines performance, composition and electronic and acoustic media to build your skills and expertise across three interrelated areas:

Music studio, audio production and critical studies in music.


What you will study

The Bachelor of Creative Arts (Music) involves the study of theory and practice-based work. 

You will develop your style and identity through creative processes and conceptual skills and apply your knowledge to practice independently and collaboratively with students and staff from other creative disciplines. 

Beyond that, you will build specialised technical skills and grasp how your practice relates to the wider music community.
