Please note that this information does not apply to students commencing a degree in 2007.
Bachelor of Music students who wish to undertake a primary or secondary teaching qualification and who have completed at least two years of the Bachelor of Music by the end of 2006 can apply to transfer to the combined Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Teaching - a five-year full-time (or approved equivalent) program. The combined course comprises a total of 500 points with normally 350 points undertaken in the Bachelor of Music and 150 points in the Bachelor of Teaching. The first three years of the combined course are devoted to music subjects, with the Bachelor of Teaching subjects normally undertaken in fourth and fifth year.
Graduates qualify for registration as specialist music teachers in primary or secondary schools in classroom and instrumental teaching methods, and can also teach in private practice.
Entry requirements
For students completing their second or third year of the Bachelor of Music degree in 2006:
Current Bachelor of Music students completing their second or third year at the end of 2006 are eligible to apply for the combined degree. An internal transfer application must be made online through SIS, from late October, 2006.
All eligible students should note that internal transfers to the combined degree will not be available in 2007. The 2006 internal transfer process will be the final opportunity for eligible students to enter the combined degree.
Students applying to enter the combined course at the end of second year must:
have successfully completed at least 187.5 points of music subjects, including all core subjects in years 1 and 2;
for intending secondary teachers: have the prerequisites for Learning Area (Sec) Music A and Learning Area (Sec) Music B, or undertake to have taken subjects that will give them the prerequisites by the end of third year.
Students applying to enter the combined course at the end of third year must:
have successfully completed at least 287.5 points of music subjects, including all core subjects in years 1, 2 and 3;
for intending secondary teachers: have the prerequisites for Learning Area (Sec) Music A and Learning Area (Sec) Music B, and undertake to complete the four group music skills subjects within the remaining two years of their course.
For students completing their first year of the Bachelor of Music degree in 2006:
Entry to the Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Teaching degree will not be available to students who commenced their degree in 2006. Pathways to a teaching degree will be available however, allowing students to complete a music and an education qualification within equivalent time-frames to the BMus/BTeach. Interested students should contact the Degree Programs Manager for further information.
Please note: Students must have completed a minimum of 287.5 points in music subjects including all core years 1, 2 and 3 subjects before being able to proceed to the Bachelor of Teaching subjects.
Students who are completing a diploma (such as the Diploma in Modern Languages) concurrently with the Bachelor of Music must have completed a minimum of 300 points in the music/diploma course and have undertaken sufficient music studies to proceed to the Bachelor of Teaching component of the combined course.
Bachelor of Teaching students complete a minimum of 45 days of supervised practice teaching in schools plus an extended internship in final year. BMus/BTeach students should note that they are expected to meet their practicum commitments where these may occur in semester breaks when some music subjects are offered on an intensive basis.
Students who wish to complete the Bachelor of Teaching (Honours) within fourth and fifth year will be able to apply in the same way as all other BTeach students.
Primary Strand: The course structure of this strand does not include music subjects at 4th-year level and therefore it is not possible to award the BMus/BTeach (Primary) with honours.
Secondary Strand: The BMus component of this combined degree may be awarded with honours, on the recommendation of the Board of Examiners, as for Bachelor of Music (Honours) within the BA/BMus.
Deferral of a place in the combined course is not available.
Options for Leave of Absence in the combined course are limited and will be subject to approval by both Faculties.
Part-time study is not available in the fourth and fifth years of the combined course (the BTeach component). Part-time study options in the third year (the music component) of the course are limited and subject to Faculty approval.
