Overview: Arts students who have a background in music may wish to enrol in any of the four first-year music history subjects. To do so, students must undertake the Faculty of Music Musicianship Test to determine whether they have the musical aptitude to complete the subjects. This test will be held during Orientation, the week before the start of Semester 1, at the Faculty of Music. Students should register for the test with the Faculty of Music prior to Orientation.

The general prerequisite for second and third-year music history subjects is successful completion of two first-year music history subjects (25 points).

A major in music history usually consists of nine 12.5 point subjects totalling 112.5 points. It comprises:

* two first-year subjects in music history (25 points); and
* three second-year subjects in music history (37.5 points); and
* four third-year subjects in music history (50 points).

The major in music history has two structures. Students with no previous musical training commence study in a subject that has no prerequisite requirements and assumes no prior musical knowledge. Students who undertake and pass the Faculty of Music Musicianship Test can enrol directly in two of the four core music history subjects in their first year.
