Timetables are provided during O-Week. You will be provided with an individual, detailed timetable at orientation. The delivery of timetables is dependent on a number of factors, particularly where students collaborate across cohorts and are split into different workshops and ensembles. Music Performance and Music Production are most subject to change due to ensemble adjustments in the first few weeks.
All students should bring a notebook and pens. You are welcome to bring laptops to classes to take notes.
Audio Engineering and Music Production Students: A good set of headphones (we recommend purchasing these after receiving instructions from your Course Head and/or Student ID for discounts) and a reliable hard drive. A good computer with plenty of storage is recommended but not compulsory. Also bring notebook and pens.
Entertainment Journalism and Entertainment Management: Notebook and pens; laptop optional.
Music Students: Primary instrument from Week 1 of classes (as appropriate—drums and keys are not necessary). Also bring a manuscript book, notebook and pens.
