The Bachelor of Music Industry at RMIT University in Melbourne introduces students to the workings of the Australian and global music industry. You'll explore areas such as music production, music business management, marketing, event management, and emerging technologies that shape how music reaches audiences. The course encourages creativity while ensuring you understand the commercial side of music, from copyright and royalties to live and digital distribution.
Structured over six semesters, this qualification typically consists of core and elective units. You accumulate credit points by completing units in topics like songwriting, digital audio production, live performance, and music entrepreneurship. There's often a major project or capstone experience in the final year, allowing you to apply your skills to a real-world music industry scenario or creative project.
The curriculum balances theory with practical learning. Many students take part in industry placements, work-integrated learning, or collaborate with local music venues and organisations across Melbourne's music scene. This hands-on approach can open up pathways into the Australian creative industries and gives insights into running events, promoting artists, and managing music businesses.
This course suits those with a passion for music, whether as performers, producers, organisers, or those interested in the behind-the-scenes workings of the industry. Students often come with a mix of creative talents and an interest in how the business side supports artistic practice. RMIT’s links to the Melbourne music community help you develop contacts and experience while studying.
