Welcome to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music

Music is at the centre of all people’s lives in the 21st century. Our playlists enable us to
access music from cultures and styles from all over the world. Musicians are an amazing
group of people because we are the ones who are able to create, re-create, invent, and
interpret music that is of our generation, our international culture, and from times past. Our
exploration of music through time connects us to previous generations and projects into
the future. It is an exciting time to learn to be a musician as new technology enables us to
connect to listeners in so many different ways. A degree in music will set you up to be
someone who can make a difference to others’ lives through your skills and humanity. Very
few people can really make music at an expert level. At the Sydney Conservatorium you
will have the opportunity to contribute to this vibrant expression of living and develop the
expertise to sustain a lifetime of musical work.
The Sydney Conservatorium of Music is Australia's premier tertiary music institution. In

addition to its significance in the Australian musical landscape, the Sydney Conservatorium
is increasingly influential in the Asia Pacific. Ideally situated at the centre of Sydney's Central
Business District and arts precinct and just minutes from the Sydney Opera House, the
Con offers students a comprehensive musical education, including the knowledge and skills
necessary for thriving in all aspects of music in the 21st century. Our brilliant, dedicated
faculty and gifted student body share a passion for music and the arts, a love of learning,
and a unique kinship that can last a lifetime.
Our exceptional undergraduate and graduate degree programs focus on performance,

composition, music education, conducting and musicology. Mentored by leaders in each
field, our students can focus on one area of expertise or pursue a combination of specialties to satisfy their creative energy. As a student of the
University of Sydney, you will be engaged with scholars who will challenge you. They will inspire you. They will urge you to uncover, reach for,
and achieve goals you did not know were possible. Most of all, the skills you develop and the experience gathered at the Con will forever be the
foundation of your excellence as a musician, composer, and/or teacher. It will help define your career. It will shape you as a person. And you will
continue drawing on it throughout your lifetime.
I invite you to share in our extraordinary and dynamic musical world. I invite you to become one of our graduates – one of the many soloists,
orchestral musicians, composers, academics and educators, critics, writers, and arts administrators who are integral to shaping the world through
music.

Undergraduate degree information
Bachelor of Music
The Bachelor of Music is a degree for musically and academically talented students aspiring to a professional career in music performance,
composition, or music education. It is taken over four years or eight semesters of full-time study or can be taken on a part-time basis (domestic
students only).
Bachelor of Music (Honours)

This is an embedded honours degree where students in their 4th year (semesters 7 and 8), except for the Bachelor of Music (Music Education),
which is undertaken in 3rd year (semesters 5-8), complete alternate honours units of study. Candidates wishing to undertake honours must apply
in writing to the Student Administration Office in the semester before honours study is to commence. Details on admission requirements for
honours are set out in the Faculty Resolutions and on the faculty website.
Bachelor of Music Studies

The Bachelor of Music Studies is a degree for students seeking a broad musical education. Its structure facilitates creative interdisciplinary links
within musical disciplines and other subject areas in the University of Sydney. The course develops broadly educated musicians who are able
to apply their knowledge, skills and attitudes creatively and flexibly in a variety of music and music-related professions. It is taken over three
years or six semesters of full-time study and may be taken on a part-time basis (domestic students only).
Bachelor of Music Studies (Honours)

This stand-alone honours year is open to students who have completed either the Bachelor of Music Studies degree at the Sydney Conservatorium
of Music or any other approved three-year degree at another institution. Entry is by interview and/or audition. Students must also submit an
honours proposal. The degree is taken over two semesters of full-time study.
Bachelor of Music Studies/Bachelor of Arts

The aim of the combined Bachelor of Music Studies/Bachelor of Arts is to allow students to acquire musical skills in performance, composition
or musicology, together with expertise in an arts discipline within a broad humanities context. The course caters for a wide variety of music and
music-related careers including arts administration, journalism, music teaching, arts policy, performance and composition (depending on appropriate
majors). It is taken over five years or 10 semesters of full-time study and may be taken on a part-time basis (domestic students only).
Bachelor of Music Studies and Doctor of Medicine

This program allows students to combine their demonstrated interests in music as well as medicine, and is intended to give students an opportunity
to experience a broad musical education before embarking on medical studies. Its structure facilitates creative interdisciplinary links between
music, science and medicine at the University of Sydney. It is taken over seven years of full-time study.
Diploma of Music
The Diploma of Music is a specialised course in music performance which will prepare students for a career as professional musicians. It is taken
over two years or four semesters of full-time study and can be taken on a part-time basis (domestic students only).
Bachelor of Arts (Major in Music)

Arts is a generalist degree with wide career potential. A large number of students undertake specialised research training in a subject and go on
to gain an honours degree followed by a higher degree or postgraduate diploma. You can major in music as part of the Bachelor of Arts degree.
Duration: Three years (four years honours).

The Arts Music Unit of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music is located on the main campus of the University of Sydney. Students from all faculties
including the Conservatorium can study a wide range of subjects including music skills, musicology and ethnomusicology, performance and
composition. All classes are held on the main campus. Students are also permitted to undertake some additional approved SCM units of study
at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Campus on Macquarie Street as part of their music major. Students should consult the Faculty of Arts
and Social Sciences for further details on admission and degree requirements.
Bachelor of Engineering Honours/Bachelor of Music Studies

The combined Bachelor of Engineering Honours and Bachelor of Music Studies five-year degree provides high performing students with an
exciting opportunity to pursue their passions in both the technical and artistic arenas.
This unique program allows you to explore the synergies between the rule-based domains of music and engineering, bringing together your

The Bachelor of Music (Music Education) degree is intended primarily as a professional training course for students wishing to become music
teachers in a school environment. The music education degree course meets requirements of professional bodies responsible for the accreditation
of school music teachers.
In New South Wales the major employer of school music teachers is the NSW Department of Education and Communities (DEC), which stipulates
specific musical and pedagogical skills and knowledge for a teacher to be certified as employable in departmental schools and other systems
such as non government and Catholic systemic schools.
In addition to music teaching methods, music history and analysis, performance and compositional skills and knowledge, students must have
attained information and communication technology competencies and have developed an understanding of children with special educational
needs.
A significant component (80-86 days) of the course must include practical teaching experience in schools. Graduating teachers also need to
meet the Teaching Standards of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) under the jurisdiction of the New South
Wales Institute of Teachers, a professional body responsible for accreditation of all NSW teachers working in schools. Graduating teachers need
to demonstrate knowledge of subject content, pedagogy (including learning, teaching and evaluation strategies), NSW curriculum requirements
and the needs of socially, culturally, ethnically, physically and intellectually diverse groups of students in schools.
In order to satisfy these requirements, the Music Education degree has a large core of mandated music education units of study. The major focus
is on developing teaching skills through studies in education, music education, ensemble pedagogy and music technology.
Students undertake extended Professional Experience sessions in schools supported by both school teachers and experienced music education
lecturers from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Music Education specialists also develop practical, compositional, or research skills by
taking a minimum of four semesters of Principal Study in an instrument, voice, composition or musicology. Students also take part in large
ensembles (eg, Choir, Wind Symphony, Early Music Ensemble) and other performance units. All students take core studies in aural perception
and harmony (or jazz music skills for jazz students), studies in analysis, history and culture, and music technology.
Principal study is available in the following areas:

• Brass: Horn, trombone, trumpet, tuba
• Composition
• Historical Performance: baroque flute, harpsichord, lute, recorder, viola da gamba, baroque trumpet
• Jazz: bass, drums, electric guitar, piano, saxophone, trombone, trumpet, vocal
• Musicology stream
• Organ
• Percussion
• Piano
• Strings: cello, double bass, guitar, harp, viola, violin
• Vocal Studies: classical
• Woodwind: bassoon, clarinet, flute, oboe, saxophone
Core requirements for graduation with a Bachelor of Music (Music Education)

Students must successfully complete 192 credit points and reach the minimum levels of achievement in each area as outlined in the degree
resolutions.
Typical enrolment patterns

Students should follow the typical enrolment patterns appropriate to their specialisation. Students are required to ensure the award course is to
be completed within four years full-time or equivalent.

The Bachelor of Music Studies and Doctor of Medicine is intended to give students an opportunity to experience a broad musical education before
embarking on medical studies. In this structure the Bachelor of Music Studies functions as a specific pathway to the MD for the highest achieving
school leavers. Its structure facilitates creative interdisciplinary links between music, science and medicine at the University of Sydney. The
course develops broadly educated musicians who are able to apply their knowledge, skills and attitudes creatively and flexibly.
As a pathway degree in the combined music and medicine program, the course offers students the opportunity to engage with the Faculty of
Science and the Sydney Medical School in addition to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. The honours year in particular also offers students
in the combined degree program the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary and applied music research that will give them a grounding in
generic research skills required to undertake more advanced clinical/medical research.
Bachelor of Music Studies Course Structure

The degree is structured to allow students flexibility in their choice of units so they may pursue their own combinations of musical and non-musical
disciplines. In the first three years of study students must include 18 junior credit points in designated Faculty of Science units of study, and
complete a zero credit point unit of study (SMTP3007) offered by the Sydney Medical School.
Students are advised to take one 6cp unit from each of the following Science areas, in order to support their medical pathway:
Junior Level Physics Units

PHYS1001; 1002; 1003; 1004; 1901; 1902
Junior Level Chemistry Units

CHEM1001; 1002; 1101; 1102; 1901; 1902; 1903; 1904
Junior Level Biology Units

BIOL1003; 1903; 1993
In the BMusStudies pathway degree, all students take a Principal Study in an instrument, voice, composition or musicology, core units in music
skills, studies in analysis, history and culture as well as other units of their own choice.
Part-time study is not available to students in this award course.
Candidates should refer to the Sydney Medical School for information on course structures for the Doctor of Medicine degree.

Master of Music Studies (Composition)
Composition is at the centre of new knowledge creation in music.
The Master of Music Studies (Composition) is a three-semester coursework degree that focusses on the acquisition of high-level composition
technique. It provides the opportunity for those interested in composition, or with a background in composition, to develop their compositional
style, technique and ideas within a rigorous musical environment.
The Master of Music Studies degree is based entirely upon coursework components that enable students to gain practical skills in composition.
Students have weekly composition lessons with a tutor and will take part in a specific composition class geared towards Master of Music Studies
(Composition) enrolled students.
Composition skills that students may acquire in this degree include the areas of compositional style, instrumentation, technology, performance
genres and technique.
The Master of Music Studies also provides for the acquisition of skills useful to life as a professional composer, such as conducting, sound
recording, research skills and concert curation. Students enrolled in the Master of Music Studies work weekly with student performers in the first
two semesters, allowing them to try out new ideas and hear them immediately translated into sound.
There are no genre restrictions or guidelines as to music that students may create in this degree: this is negotiated between each student and
their tutor. High level notation and music theory skills are strongly recommended.
In contrast to the Master of Music (Composition) degree, composers in the Master of Music Studies degree are not required to write a thesis or

degree. Students will present a folio of new work developed over the
course of a semester. The works will follow the specific compositional
techniques and genre in which the student chooses to focus (such as
choral, vocal, orchestral, chamber, electroacoustic, mixed media or
film music) and the folio of works will also be presented in digital or
performance mode. The final folio of work will also become an
exemplar of the students' work that will be suitable for assessment
as a sample of compositional style for future professional work
opportunities.

Master of Music
Master of Music
The Master of Music research degrees can be taken in the following disciplines:
• Master of Music (Composition)

• Master of Music (Music Education)
• Master of Music (Musicology)
• Master of Music (Performance)

An IELTS level of 7.0 with no component below 6.5 is normally required for entry to all Master of Music degrees.
Master of Music (Composition)

The Master of Music (Composition) offers candidates the opportunity to develop advanced compositional skills and to work on compositions of
a length and complexity not possible during undergraduate award programs. Candidates are exposed to theoretical, philosophical and sociological
aspects of composition.
Candidates are encouraged to develop skills in, and an understanding of, all aspects in the successful completion of a composition project.
Candidates are expected to research compositional approaches of other composers, practitioners and artists, and to create musical works based
upon the results of this research.
These musical outcomes may take place on the small and larger scales, and should demonstrate the development of a high-level creative
approach, substantial composition technique and the initial establishment of a compositional voice within the national music sector.
Course structure
The Master of Music (Composition) can be completed either in four semesters of full-time study or eight semesters of part-time study. There is
an expectation that work on all aspects of the thesis, including the composition portfolio and the research component, will be pursued concurrently
and at an even rate across the duration of the candidature. Demands of candidates in terms of craft skills and imaginative writing are high.
Candidature for all candidates includes:

• enrolment in appropriate research methods units
• enrolment in nominated seminar topics
• supervised research on an approved topic
• presentation at the Composition Seminar towards the conclusion of the candidature
• submission of a thesis comprising the portfolio of original compositions with accompanying recordings and the 10,000-20,000 word dissertation
associated with the candidate’s composition portfolio and the research behind its creation.
The following are benchmark examples of portfolio size, and should be referred to by intending students writing the 1500-2000 word research
summary when applying for entry into the course.
(a) Candidates specialising in instrumental or music theatre composition

A portfolio of compositions of approximately 50 to 70 minutes, including one designated major work. The portfolio should reflect and respond to
the area(s) of research undertaken during the candidature. At least half of the music should have been performed, workshopped or publicly
presented. Recordings should accompany the folio where possible.
Examples of submissions could include:
• a set of solo saxophone etudes (15 minutes), a saxophone quartet (10 minutes), a piece for large chamber ensemble (10 minutes), a concerto
for saxophone and orchestra (25 minutes)
• two chamber works of 12 minutes each for 8 players, an orchestral piece (10 minutes), a piano sonata (19 minutes)
• a 15-minute work for woodwind quintet + CD, a music theatre work of 45 minutes
• a string quartet with didjeridu and erhu (20 minutes), a chamber work for mixed sextet (5 minutes), a work for dancers and chamber ensemble
(14 minutes), a sound installation (variable duration), four pieces for large ensemble with jazz quartet (total 12 minutes)
• a music theatre work of 75 minutes
• works created as part of the National Women Composers’ Development Program
(b) Candidates specialising in electroacoustic composition

A number of electroacoustic compositions intended for various configurations such as stereo, surround and multi-channel or interactive works
that have a collective duration of 12-15 minutes of music per each full-time semester of the candidature, that is 48-60 minutes for the entire
candidature.
Examples of works to be included in the portfolio could include:
• a stereo acousmatic composition

• a surround work with a minimum four channels

Master of Music
• a work for 1-3 instruments and tape

a performance for instrument and live electronics
• a sound installation
• an interactive multimedia piece for sound and video
(c) Candidates specialising in music technology

The written dissertation between 10,000 and 20,000 words will investigate a research topic in music technology. Projects may involve computer
programming for musical applications, exploration of advanced signal processing techniques, analysis of existing electroacoustic repertoire,
sound recording, digital audio production for visual and interactive media.
Music compositions must demonstrate the aesthetic value of the theoretical investigation and must be included in the submitted portfolio. Where
software creation is a significant component of the work then a balance between music composition and software creation shall be negotiated
with the supervisor, but a minimum of two 12-15 minute works will be required under any circumstance.
Candidates specialising in jazz composition

A portfolio of compositions as outlined below:
It is expected that the works contain no more than 30 percent of improvisation with the work being at least 70 percent fully scored. If a candidate
would like to include a greater percentage of improvisation than the 30 percent standard, this must be negotiated with and approved by the
supervisor and Chair. The duration of such works should be at the upper limits of the durations given below.
• four small ensemble works of 6-8 minutes' duration for 8-10 instruments
• two small ensemble works of 6-8 minutes' duration for 8-10 instruments + string group
• two big band works of 6-8 minutes' duration
one third stream (confluent) work for 3-4 soloists + rhythm section and chamber group of 8-10 minutes' duration
• one third stream (confluent) work for 3-4 soloists and full orchestra (no rhythm) of 8-10 minutes' duration
Candidates normally complete the following units of study

• CMPN5001 Principal Study (Composition) 1
• PERF5600 Graduate Research Methods
• Two other units of study chosen from the table of postgraduate electives.

Master of Music (Musicology)

The Master of Music (Musicology) aims to train students to become independent scholars in the discipline of musicology and to communicate
their findings in appropriate written and spoken forms. The program of study culminates in a thesis, chosen in consultation with faculty, and
consisting of a portfolio of papers on two or three distinct topics or a monograph on a single topic (with departmental permission). Students in
the course carry out research in a variety of fields supported by the faculty, including western historical musicology, music analysis, ethnomusicology,
popular music studies, empirical musicology and more. This research degree may stand alone or serve as preliminary to PhD study in the
discipline.
Course structure
The Master of Music (Musicology) is normally completed in four semesters of full-time study or up to eight semesters of part-time study. Through
enrolment in required research training modules and coursework units of study, students develop knowledge of a variety of musicological research
methods and understanding of different fields in the discipline. Throughout the candidature a student will work with the supervisor(s) on the
development of the thesis. The thesis will normally include three papers and an introductory essay that binds these papers conceptually.
• Enrolment in four research training modules;

relationships and techniques, or through enhanced critical, historical or analytical perspectives.
Applicants should be prepared to present an audition comprising a 50-minute recital of works at an advanced level of difficulty to a high standard
of excellence. The audition panel retains the right to curtail the performance and select excerpts of the works presented as it sees fit. At the
interview, candidates should be prepared to discuss their proposed area of performance research.
Course Structure
The Master of Music (Performance) course is normally completed in two years of full-time study and includes research-led performance and
scholarship. Research method and other elective units of study are normally completed as part of the first full-time year. During the second year,
candidates will work towards completion of their final performance and written dissertation. Candidates should plan their candidature in consultation
with their supervisory team, including planning when to present the final performance. Typical progresion patterns are shown below.
• Enrolment in appropriate units of study to support the candidate’s development as a researcher
• Supervised performance research on the approved topic in preparation of a thesis which comprises both the final performance and the
associated 10,000 to 20,000 word dissertation
• Final performance
The final performance will be a 50 to 80 minute recital or performance project which demonstrates originality and makes a contribution to
knowledge beyond its aesthetic merits.
Critical notes will be prepared to accompany the performance. These will articulate the aim of the performance and its place in the area of
the student's research enquiry. (Where necessary candidates can apply for up to 8 hours of rehearsal time plus the recital with a staff
accompanist.)
• Dissertation
The written component of the thesis will be a 10,000 to 20,000 word dissertation on the approved topic. The written component will investigate
the topic normally developing one or more hypotheses and placing the research within the relevant body of knowledge.

Doctor of Philosophy
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is a research degree awarded for a thesis considered to be a substantially original contribution to the subject
concerned. The Doctor of Philosophy is offered in all faculties of the University and is governed by the resolutions of the Senate and the Academic
Board of the University of Sydney for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The normal minimum period of candidature is six full-time semesters
(or the part-time equivalent), while the normal maximum length of full-time PhD candidature is eight semesters. Full-time candidates for research
degrees do not keep to the normal semesters but work continuously throughout the year except for a period of four weeks’ annual recreation
leave.
For the rules and guidelines pertaining to the degree and candidature, students should refer to the following:
• University of Sydney (Higher Degree by Research) Rule 2011)

• Thesis and Examination of Higher Degree by Research Policy 2015.
The most recent versions of these rules are found the Policy Register sydney.edu.au/policies.
Additional information can also be found in the Graduate Studies handbook.
PhD candidature at the Conservatorium

At the Conservatorium candidates may undertake supervised research in composition, ethnomusicology, music education, musicology, performance,
applied and interdisciplinary research.
On completion of a course of advanced study and research, candidates present the results of the work undertaken for examination in a thesis
that demonstrates an original contribution to knowledge, and forms a cohesive and unified whole. The thesis shall be either:
1. a thesis that represents a sustained investigation of a single topic

2. a thesis comprising a dissertation that includes a critical and appropriate historical and theoretical discussion plus a substantial body of
creative work.
The normal upper limit of a PhD thesis is 80,000 words (not including appendices).This may be exceeded with the permission of the Conservatorium
Research Committee; however, the absolute upper limit is 100,000 words. In the case of option 2, the normal upper limit will be the equivalent
of 80,000 words; the proportion of creative work and dissertation components may vary and in cases where the two components are of equal
weight, the dissertation will be no more than 40,000 words.
Some coursework may be required during the candidature but this is not a major component. Candidates are normally expected to present and
discuss their research in an appropriate seminar each year. The University’s rules of Annual Review and progression apply.
Admission
The minimum admission requirement for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the possession of a relevant master’s degree or a relevant bachelor’s
degree with first or upper second class honours. Alternatively, an applicant may be admitted having passed a qualifying examination at a standard
equivalent to the bachelor’s degree with first or upper second class honours. This qualifying examination could be completion of a period of
advanced study and research towards a relevant master’s degree at the University of Sydney, at such a standard as would demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the faculty that the candidate is suitably prepared in the particular field of study to undertake candidature for a PhD. See University
of Sydney (Higher Degree by Research) Rule 2011
In addition to these academic requirements, the Conservatorium must be satisfied that your proposed course of advanced study and research
is appropriate and acceptable to the faculty; that you have in addition to the academic qualifications the necessary training and ability to pursue
the proposed course of study and research; and that there are sufficient supervisory and other resources and facilities available to enable your
candidature to be completed successfully.
Faculties are particularly concerned to ensure before admission to PhD candidature that there is the likelihood of a successful outcome. At the
Conservatorium admission to candidature involves the acceptance of a research proposal presented as part of the application. This proposal
needs to be 1500 to 2000 words in length with additional bibliography, and should include at least the following:
• identification of the topic

• an introductory literature review
• an outline of the research program and a rough schedule for the research.
Following admission, PhD candidature is probationary for the first 12 months of enrolment.
Language requirements
An IELTS level of 7.0 with no component below 6.5 is required for entry to PhD candidature.
How to apply
Intending candidates should refer to the admission and degree requirements in the University of Sydney Calendar and the University of Sydney
Postgraduate Studies Handbook. They should discuss their application and intended research with the chair of the relevant unit and the Associate
Dean (Research). Research Supervisor Connect provides information on supervisors and their research fields.

(2) If an extension is either not sought, not granted or is granted but work is submitted after the extended due date, the late submission of
assessment will result in an academic penalty as follows:
(a) For work submitted after the deadline but up to three calendar days late, a penalty of 10 per cent of the possible marks awarded for
the assignment will apply.
(b) For work submitted after 3 days and less than one week after the deadline, a penalty of 15 per cent of the possible marks awarded
for the assignment will apply.
(c) For work submitted more than one week late but less than two weeks after the deadline, a penalty of 20 per cent of the possible marks
awarded for the assignment will apply.
(d) Work submitted more than two weeks after deadline will not be assessed (Fail).
12 Attendance
(1) Students are required to be in attendance at the correct time and place of any formal or informal examinations. Non attendance on any
grounds insufficient to claim special consideration will result in the forfeiture of marks associated with the assessment. Participation in
a minimum number of assessment items may be included in the requirements specified for a unit of study.
(2) Students are expected to attend a minimum of 90% of timetabled activities for a unit of study, unless granted exemption by the Dean,
Head of School or professor most concerned. The Dean, Head of School or professor most concerned may determine that a student
fails a unit of study because of inadequate attendance. Alternatively, at their discretion, they may set additional assessment items where
attendance is lower than 90%.
(3) In addition to the rule above, full (100 per cent) and punctual attendance is a requirement in all activities where students have a role as
active participants in the class or activity. Active participation includes situations where the student's contribution is to perform, rehearse
or direct rehearsals in a small or large ensemble, or to give seminar and tutorial papers or presentations or undertake assessment tasks.
Active participation also includes all one-to-one studio teaching and supervision. Except in cases of illness or misadventure, failure to
attend activities or classes where a student is an active participant will be seen as failure to meet the requirements of the unit of study.
13 Special consideration for illness, injury or misadventure
Special consideration is a process that affords equal opportunity to students who have experienced circumstances that adversely impact
their ability to adequately complete an assessment task in a unit of study. The Coursework Rule provides full details of the University policy.
The procedures for applying for special consideration are described in each unit of study outline.
14 Professional activity leave
A student may be granted leave to participate in a musical or other activity which, in the opinion of the Pro Dean, is likely to benefit the
student in the course. An Application for Professional Activity Leave shall be submitted by the student to the Student Administration Office
at least four weeks prior to the activity in which the student wishes to participate. Retrospective approval for Professional Activity Leave shall
be granted only in exceptional circumstances. A student who is granted Professional Activity Leave shall be required to make up any work
required during the period of Professional Activity Leave, other than attendance at lectures, tutorials and other requirements during that
period.
15 Concessional pass
In this Faculty the grade PCON (Concessional Pass) is not awarded.
16 Re-assessment
(1) In this Faculty re-assessment is offered to students whose performance is in the prescribed range and circumstances.
(2) Students who have failed the examination but have a good record in other assessments in a unit of study which is based on cumulative
assessment may be offered a supplementary examination. The grade awarded for a unit of study in this circumstance will be no higher
than a Pass.
(3) Students who have successfully requested Special Consideration may be allowed to sit the exam or submit the required work at a
negotiated date that should not be longer than the period of incapacitation and in any case not longer than 3 months after the original
examination or submission date. After this time the student will be considered to have discontinued with permission. Marks will be
awarded at full value for further examination where special consideration is approved.

Part 4: Progression, Results and Graduation

17 Satisfactory progress
(1) The Faculty will monitor students for satisfactory progress towards the completion of their award course. Students identified as 'at risk'

(a) Failure to complete a mandated unit
(b) Failure to successfully complete more than 50% of enrolled units of study
(c) Failure to successfully complete a unit of study for the second time.
18 Award of the bachelor's degree with honours

the student has completed.
Description Mark Range
Honours Class I mark = 80-100
Honours Class II (Division 1) mark = 75-79
Honours Class II (Division 2) mark = 70-74
Honours Class III mark = 65-69
Honours not awarded to a mark below 65
19 University medal
A student with an honours mark of 90 or above may be awarded a university medal. The medal is awarded at the discretion of the faculty
to the highest achieving students who in the opinion of the Faculty have an outstanding academic record, in accordance with the Coursework
Rule.
20 Weighted average mark (WAM)
(1) The University has a formula for calculating a Weighted Average Mark and this is defined in the University Glossary. WAMs are used
by the University as one indicator of performance. For example, WAMs can be used in assessing admission to and award of honours,
eligibility for prizes and scholarships, or assessing progression through a course.
