Overview

Master of Music in Guitar

The Master of Music degree in performance is offered to students who have achieved the necessary levels of attainment and productivity at the undergraduate level and gives reasonable promise of further significant accomplishment. 

This degree at UBC is often a final academic step for the musician who wishes to enter the professional world. 

However, it may prove an intermediate step for those preparing for doctoral training. 

Performance candidates present a recital or opera performance instead of a thesis. 

A two-year residency is the norm.

Language pathway (conditional offer) is available

The Faculty of Graduate Studies may extend a conditional offer of admission to a highly-qualified graduate applicant who does not quite meet the minimum English language proficiency requirement set by the graduate program to which the student has applied.

The student will proceed directly into the graduate degree program after successfully completing the prescribed terms of study in the ELI Intensive Academic English Program (or pre-approved, equivalent alternative).

To be eligible for the Condition Admission Program (CAP), the applicant must:

  • Possess a "first-class average" (or established equivalent) in a degree deemed as an eligible basis for admission, OR have academic qualifications that would have ranked them in the top 33% of students admitted to the graduate program to which they are applying, for the year before the date of their application;
  • have English language proficiency, demonstrated via an accepted test, that can reasonably be expected to be brought up to the standard required by the graduate program to which the student has applied by completing ELI (or accepted equivalent) training in no more than a year; and
  • be recommended for the CAP by a UBC graduate program.
