Associate Degree of Music (Performance)

AMPA's Associate Degree of Music (Performance) is an advanced diploma level (AQF level 6) qualification. It covers the same content as stages 1-3 of AMPA's Bachelor of Music (Performance) with the addition of a foundational stage at the start of the course, stage A. It is a highly practical course, personalised to the individual requirements and interests of each student. Students may undertake a range of units and choose from an array of electives to complement their major studies and subsequently diversify their skill sets.

AMPA's music degrees merge high-level performance and practical training with academic rigour and unparalleled industry insight. Students can personalise their degree based around their individual interests and aspirations. AMPA undergrads may choose to undertake a second instrument or vocal study and focus on two performance areas (such as singing and songwriting, voice and keyboard, guitar and bass, violin and viola). The possibilities are endless and are designed to enhance graduate career outcomes. Students may also choose electives across all areas to further tailor their degree.

The Associate Degree of Music (Performance) is a nested award into the Bachelor of Music (Performance). Students who successfully complete the first four trimesters of the Associate Degree of Music (Performance) are eligible to transfer into the Bachelor of Music (Performance) and graduate with both awards.
