Bachelor of Music Industry

In the third year of your degree, you will undertake approximately 60–80 hours of internship activities at music industry organisations. Past students have been placed at commercial record labels including Universal Music Australia, Warner Music Australia, and Sony; indie labels Chapter Music and Milk! Records; touring organisations such as Frontier; radio stations such as PBS FM; and at key live music venues/companies such as The Tote, the Corner Hotel, Laundry Bar, Opera Australia, and the Melbourne Theatre Company. Many interns have progressed into paid roles in these organisations.

Students have access to high-end facilities including an Ableton Live music production studio for creative music-making and a DJ studio to hone their skills. These spaces support hands-on, active learning alongside theoretical coursework.

In addition to your Music Industry major, you will choose a minor specialisation in one of the following streams: Approaches to Popular Culture; Asian Media and Culture; Cinema Studies; Contemporary Politics & Communication; or Literary Studies. Through your minor you will investigate broader cultural, social and historical perspectives.

Assessment in this degree includes reflective essays, journals, live performance, eportfolios, peer-led online discussions, work placement activities, and more. Assessment tasks are designed to help develop skills in self-reflection and provide an opportunity to receive feedback on your progress.
