The Faculty of Music offers a Major and combined Honours program in Music History to Bachelor of Arts students.

Arts students who have a background in music may wish to enrol in any of the four first year Music History subjects. To do so, students must undertake the Faculty of Music Musicianship Test to determine whether they have the musical aptitude to complete the subjects. This test will be held in Orientation week, February 1999, at the Faculty of Music. Students should register for the test with the Faculty of Music prior to Orientation Week.
The general prerequisite for Second and third year Music History subjects is successful completion of two first year Music History subjects (25 points).

Two first-year subjects in Music History (25 points), and;
Three second-year subjects in Music History (37.5 points), and;

Students with no previous musical training commence study in Music by enrolling in 740-138/139 Introduction to Music 1-1 and 1-2, each 12.5 points.
