Combined Degrees

The Application Process (Local Students)

Step One: Apply through TISC

All Australian students must put in a TISC application form in order to apply for a University course. Further information can be obtained from the TISC website, or by contacting them on + 61 (0) 8 9318 8000 or info@tisc.edu.au.

Step Two: Audition

Auditions for courses at the School of Music are held in October/November. Students are required to prepare three contrasting pieces, some technical work and are tested on their aural skills.

There is also a short interview in which prospective students can discuss their plans for future music study. Please note that late auditions can be arranged if necessary. If students are unable to attend auditions in person, it is possible to submit an audio or video tape, but this must be accompanied by a certified letter that states the authenticity of the recording.

To apply, please download the audition form, complete and return to the UWA School of Music. Alternatively, a form can be mailed to you - please contact the School on + 61 (0) 8 6488 2051 or music@uwa.edu.au. Auditions for 2009 entry will take place between 20 October and 02 November 2008.
