Study music

A career in music can take you all over the world: performing in orchestras, conducting operas, teaching music in a school, playing in a rock band or composing film scores.

Our degrees give you the opportunity to specialise in your area of interest or to explore other combinations of arts and social sciences subjects across the University of Sydney.

We offer mentoring by industry leaders in your chosen field throughout your course. They’ll work with you to create strong foundations for your career.

You will have plenty of opportunities to perform or have your work performed. We have some fantastic ensembles which you can join, including Symphony Orchestra, Wind Symphony, Choir, Jazz Big Band, Gamelan, Chinese Music Ensemble and our Early Music Ensemble. These can count towards your credit points.

We also have a range of scholarship options to support both domestic and international students. Scholarships can help to fund your studies, your research, opportunities for overseas study and touring.
