    • VET applicants
      You must have completed an AQF Certificate I to IV (or above) in a music program. You must also undertake an audition/interview including an aural/theory test. You compete for a place based on your audition score. Further ranking according to the level of VET award is undertaken in the case of a tie-breaker. This program may not be deferred.
    • Special Entry applicants
      You must be 18 years or over before February 1st of the year that you will be studying. You must undertake an audition/interview including an aural/theory test. You compete for a place based on your audition score. In the case of a tie-breaker, you will be ranked further according to your result in the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). Personal Competencies (PC) and Employment Experience (EE) statements are not considered. Indigenous applicants may be eligible for entry through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access Scheme. See Wilto Yerlo for further information.
    • Additional Entry Requirements ?
      Applicants must attend and pass an audition/interview and an aural/theory test. Selections for music programs are made on the basis of audition/interview scores combined with academic achievement and the aural/theory test score. It is possible to audition for more than one instrument or area of specialisation if you have multiple interests and could pursue studies in any one of them. Separate audition application forms are required in that case. The auditions/interviews will be held from Monday 7 to Friday 11 December 2009. The audition application form and full details are available on the web: www.music.adelaide.edu.au/students/prospective/auditions/ Application forms for the December round must be returned to the Elder Conservatorium of Music by 30 September 2009. Late applications will be accepted however, while every effort will be made, it may not be possible to accommodate them in the audition schedule. For those applicants who are unable to attend in December, a small number of auditions/interviews will be held in the week beginning 28 September 2009. In this case, the audition application form must be returned to the Conservatorium no later than Friday 11 September 2009 with an explanation about the problem. A late round of auditions/interviews is highly likely to be held in February 2010, subject to final numbers in the January offer round. Please note that not all specialisations will be available at this time. Auditions for Jazz specialisations are particularly unlikely to be held after the December round. Enquiries should be directed to the Conservatorium either through the web (www.music.adelaide.edu.au), phone (08 8303 5995) or email (music@adelaide.edu.au).
