Any courses from the above plans can be completed as program electives.

Science Communication minor elective courses must be taken as part of the Science Communication minor to count towards the 32 units of BSc courses required as part of program requirements.

Additional Rules

1. Selection of instrument

The head of school must approve changes to your chosen instrument.

2. Continuous enrolment

You must get approval to interrupt your studies. You may be required to demonstrate competency/ies before returning to study. If you do not demonstrate competence, you may have to undertake remediation such as repeating courses and/or other requirements. The maximum duration for an interruption is outlined in the Enrolment Procedure.

3. Exit awards

If you withdraw from the program after completing 64 units, including all BMus(Hons) Core Courses from the BMus(Hons) component, and all 32 units from the BSc component, you may apply for and be awarded the Bachelor of Music Studies and the Bachelor of Science. 

4. Class of honours

Specific requirements apply to the awarding of honours in this program. The class of honours is calculated based on the grade point average over 24 units of courses at level 3 or higher, comprising—

(a) 8 units from BMus(Hons) Core Courses;

(b) 6 units of the highest graded courses at level 3 or higher from BMus(Hons) Flexible Core Courses; and

(c) 10 units from BMus(Hons) Research Courses.

Refer to the Bachelor Honours Degrees Procedure for more information.

5. Program plan - BSc component

(a) Each extended major must include 12 units of courses at level 3 or higher, taken from that extended major’s course list and counted towards no other plan.

(b) Each major must include 8 units of courses at level 3 or higher, taken from that major’s course list and counted towards no other plan.

(c) Each minor must include 4 units of courses at level 2 or higher, taken from that minor’s course list and counted towards no other plan.

(d) Where the program is undertaken with more than one plan, any course listed more than once must be substituted in one plan by a course at the same level or higher from the list for that plan, or from the BSc component of the program requirements.
