- The audition. Learn more.
Shortlisted applicants may be invited to an interview.
You must complete components 1 and 2 by the application closing date.
There are a limited number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) for this course. To ensure you are considered for a CSP, submit your complete application prior to the application deadline.
How to apply
1. Review entry requirements and eligibility
- Check the entry requirements tab of this course page and ensure you meet the admission criteria.
- Review the English language requirements.
- Consider whether you are eligible for Graduate Access Melbourne.
- If you are applying for multiple courses, ensure you have confirmed your preference order.
2. Gather your supporting documentation
As part of your application, you’ll be required to submit:
- Transcripts and detailed information related to all previous studies you have undertaken and/or completed, including an explanation of the grading system used and official certified English translation of any document that is not written in English. View further information about supporting documentation.
- Evidence of meeting the University's English language requirements.
Prepare your supplementary application, submitted digitally via Fine Arts and Music’s SlideRoom
- A portfolio
- A recorded audition (this is not required if applicant is opting to attend a Live audition instead). Learn more.
3. Submit your application
In addition to your direct application via the University’s application portal, above, you must also submit your supplementary application (digital, submitted via Fine Arts and Music’s SlideRoom) prior to the closing date.
Additional application considerations:
Where a course offers both Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and Australian full fee (AF) places, you only need to submit an application for one fee type. You will automatically be considered for a CSP if you are eligible.
After you apply
- All communications related to your application, including requests for additional information and application outcomes, will be sent to the email address you registered for your application. To avoid delays, please upload requested information as soon as possible.
- Please note that the Admissions team will only contact you via email if anything else is needed; there's no need to enquire about the timeline in the meantime.
- The time it takes to assess applications can vary. If you're applying for the next intake, this will typically be 4 to 8 weeks after we receive all required documents. Future intakes (beyond the next intake) may have different assessment timelines.
