Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Music
Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Music
There is a wonderful synergy between the passion for creating music and a love of scientific knowledge.
Choose one of three music specialisations and up to two of 25 science areas (e.g. one major and one minor)
With this course, your knowledge of human biology may help you unravel the physiological response that music creates. Your knowledge of physics or mathematics could help you create great music, perhaps as you specialise in creative music technology to work on treatments for auditory conditions or mapping sound to interaction.
The research into the possibilities of music is also ongoing and creating new jobs dedicated to the many effects of music, music perception or the performance and technical underpinnings of instruments. Alternatively, you could combine your knowledge of physics, mathematics and computing to become a sound engineer.
If you are interested in studying psychology, this double degree is not APAC accredited.
