Program overview
A two year degree completion in applied music, covering advanced performance, arrangement and composition, music business, production and a substantial final recital or project.
Bachelor of Applied Music is the only degree at this campus and the only programme asking 70 percent, and it requires a completed diploma to enter.
Bachelor of Applied Music is taught at Vancouver Community College, a public college and a Designated Learning Institution with the number O19279717512. Because Bachelor of Applied Music is a college credential rather than a degree, a post-graduation work permit after Bachelor of Applied Music depends on the federal field of study requirement introduced in November 2024, which is checked against your programme when you apply for the permit rather than when you enrol. Confirm the position for Bachelor of Applied Music and your exact intake in writing before you pay a deposit. A British Columbia provincial attestation letter is also required alongside the Bachelor of Applied Music study permit application.
Candidates for Bachelor of Applied Music present a completed undergraduate diploma at 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for Bachelor of Applied Music is recorded at CAD 18,631. A CAD 145 application fee applies, and no scholarship is recorded against Bachelor of Applied Music. Bachelor of Applied Music lists four entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your Bachelor of Applied Music application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance, the provincial attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
