Normally a minimum of a 2.2 Honours degree or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University in a relevant subject, including music, performing arts, art and design, media production, ethnomusicology, and creative technologies. Exceptions may be made in the case of applicants with extensive relevant professional experience who are invited to submit an RPEL statement as part of the application. Applicants seeking entry via RPEL are required to provide a statement which must include a sample of original work and a contextual paragraph about the work which will be assessed by the RPEL Assessor to determine if an offer of admission can be made. The statement must include a link to an online video recording of one of the following: an extract from a public performance, documentation of a sound-based installation, demonstration of a musical instrument design, or a recording of a composition (audio or video with the option of also submitting a notated score of the same piece). Recordings that exceed a maximum length of 10 minutes will not be considered, and it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the line to the work sample remains available online.
