Honours is a further specialisation of study for students who have achieved distinction or above in their degree, and who wish to further develop their depth of study. Students applying for entry into the BMUS (Hons) degree need to provide evidence in the form of an academic transcript of results in semesters three to six of a degree in music or a degree with a major in music.

Applicants without this qualification must demonstrate equivalence in terms of ability within a particular major and ability to undertake scholarly research
