This postgraduate diploma, offered in Composition/Sonic Arts and in Performance, suits students wanting to focus entirely on creative coursework. You also have the option of replacing 30 of the diploma's 120 points with an academic course (for example in musicology) as part of your programme of study. To take the Postgraduate Diploma in Music (PGDipMus) you need to have completed the Bachelor of Music in either Composition/Sonic Arts or Performance. To enter the programme, performers must also pass an audition, and composers must submit an acceptable portfolio of compositions or, if your field is Sonic Arts, of sound-based works. Students holding other Bachelor degrees who can demonstrate musical equivalencies may also be considered. The PGDipMus is designed to prepare you for the Master of Musical Arts (MMA) and Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) pathway in Performance or Composition/Sonic Arts. It is normally a one-year full-time programme, or a part-time programme taken over two years
