About this course

What will I learn?

Take your music skills to the next level and focus entirely on creative coursework with the PGDipMus. The one-year Diploma programme will build on your abilities in Composition, Sonic Arts and Music Technology, or Performance, and is also designed to prepare you for the Master of Musical Arts and Doctor of Musical Arts. Study at New Zealand's most prestigious music school and learn from world-class musicians and academics who are leaders in their fields.If you have a Bachelor of Music majoring in Performance, Composition, or Sonic Arts and Music Technology, and want to continue your studies, then the PGDipMus is a good choice for you. If you have a different degree but can show you have the required skill level in these subjects, you may also be considered. Each subject has its own entry requirements you'll need to have met before enrolling, and you'll need to do an audition or submit a portfolio.
