The minimum general requirement for admission to the post-graduate degree programme is a Bachelor Degree from a recognised university.

Audition and Interview

The MMus audition on the applicant’s primary study instrument will consist of three to four pieces that exhibit contrasting style periods (as appropriate to the instrument), tempi, and expressive and technical demands. The entire audition program should be no less than twenty minutes and should demonstrate the applicant’s ability to handle large musical works.

At the time of the audition, applicants will be interviewed by the MMus faculty and should be prepared to answer questions related to:

  • Personal reflection on their past artistic and educational experiences;
  • Their reasons for pursuing the MMus degree;
  • How they expect the MMus degree to help them to fulfil their artistic and professional goals.
The audition repertoire will vary according to each applicant’s instrument but should generally reflect the standard of the final recital of a Bachelor’s degree in Performance or Performance Studies. Below are two indicative examples of acceptable MMus audition programs. These are provided for illustrative purposes and actual audition programs must be approved in advance by the MMus Program Coordinator and the relevant instrument instructor.
