How to Apply

This page describes the 4 steps to apply as a Student at AGE

Step 1: Determine your eligibility

​

Read the Entrance Requirements HERE and then answer the following questions for yourself. 

​

If you’re aged 18 - 20 ask yourself these questions:

  • Have I successfully completed a high school certificate?

  • Do I have the English language requirements for this kind of study? 

  • Do I have the music requirements in an instrument and music theory?  (If you don’t have “formal”  requirements but think you could pass them - then remember that you can request an assessment that we will provide)

​​

If you’re aged 21 of over, ask yourself these questions:

  • Have I successfully completed a high school certificate? OR can I meet the requirements under the terms for Special Consideration?

  • Do I have the English language requirements for this kind of study? 

  • Do I have the music requirements in an instrument and music theory?  (If you don’t have “formal”  requirements but think you could pass them - then remember that you can request an assessment that we will provide)

​​

If you were able to answer YES to all of these questions, then proceed to Step 2.

If you answered NO, but would like to work towards doing a Bachelor of Music degree, fill in the enquiry form and someone will contact you about steps to take to become eligible

​

Step 2: Gather Your Information

​

1. Gather the Documents
​

You will need to supply documents such as:

  • An Identification Document like a passport, ID Card or Birth Certificate

  • Your High School Certificate and similar records

  • Formal music qualifications such as a Grade 5 from Trinity College London in Music Theory or any other OFQUAL or recognised provider

OR, 

  • if you don’t have”formal” qualifications, email support@guildmusic.edu.au  to request the theory assessment and submit that with your application. ​

​​

For International Students, remember that you will also need to pass an IELTS or similar English Language Test.

​

2. Gather your Audition Materials
​

  • Record 6 - 9 minutes of you playing your instrument or demonstrating your compositions.  This recording can be done on your phone.  It doesn’t need to be a professional recording, just something that shows us how you play. 

  • Composition students should also provide a portfolio or explanation of why they want to compose music.  

​

Step 3: Complete your application

  1. Fill in the Application Form

    • International Students should fill in the Online Enquiry Form and we will send you a link to an online application.  You may also download the International Application Form here and submit the completed form with your documents to Support (Australian Guild of Music)
