Why study a music degree at AMPA?

Centred on Individual Support
|
AMPA Community |
There is nothing quite like the community at AMPA and the benefits of studying amongst like-minded and supportive artists. While it's not unusual to find relatively cold environments at a university, students at AMPA are immersed with peers that all have similar aspirations and interests. This not only helps students feel comfortable but also inspires them to pursue goals with a collective spirit. Students also play in many diverse styles and instruments which allows for:
- Broadened musical perspectives with exposure to different genres eg. (jazz, classical, soul, electronic, music theatre, etc.);
- Creative collaboration opportunities across styles to foster innovation and unique musical projects;
- Musicians who can comfortably play or understand multiple genres are more versatile and in higher demand for gigs, studio work, teaching, and theatre productions;
- Understanding different instruments and styles allows for better arranging, producing, and composing; and,
- A diverse peer group means connections across various music scenes and industries, leading to professional opportunities that may not have been considered previously.


Graduate and Industry Outcomes
Graduates of the Bachelor degree also leave with the AQF qualifications needed to enter a Master of Teaching (secondary or primary), while graduates of the Master of Music at AMPA can work at university level. Teaching careers provide graduates with secure, long-term employment with the flexibility of maintaining performance contracts. Studying a music degree at AMPA exposes students to:
AMPA students on a full-time load will complete a bachelor degree in 2 years, providing a fast-track schedule to enter the industry sooner. Students that prefer to learn at a more flexible pace can also reduce to a part time load depending on external commitments and/or learning style.
