About the course

If you are a songwriter, music producer, instrumentalist or freelance creative, our program encourages you to develop your 'voice' and supports your creativity in both study and real-world outcomes.

　　The Bachelor of Songwriting and Music Production is a unique degree for music artists. We offer songwriting, music production, and industry subjects in which you write, record, and release your music. Our diverse cohort is a welcoming music community, and our subjects are delivered on our Fairfield and Collingwood campuses by lecturers with active national and international industry careers.

　　This course differs from the Bachelor of Music in that it specialises in the creation, recording, and release of original material by songwriters and music producers.

　　A one-semester Undergraduate Certificate in Songwriting and Music Production is also available, either as a standalone qualification or as a pathway into the Bachelor.

　　If you have a Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Music Performance or Sound Production, you are eligible for course credits into the Bachelor of Songwriting and Music Production. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
