The Bachelor of Music Program in Music (International Program)
The program provides an international standard of education in the academic study of music that will allow graduates to engage with the modern global world fully. The program does not focus on learning traditional music theories and standard performance per se; instead, students learn how to integrate musical excellence with technological management from an innovative perspective.
This means that:
(1) Students learn how to use digital technology and innovative methods to produce musical works with high efficiency
(2) How music is impacted by secular and contemporary factors, allowing them to apply music as a creative tool to develop local communities and broader societies.
Furthermore, students are trained as innovative and ethical leaders in global music to effectively engage in the modern globalized world by analyzing their social conditions. The curriculum is meticulously designed for the acquisition of both theoretical and practical analytical skills in order that students can apply their knowledge to respond to contemporary socio-cultural issues.
The Bachelor of Music program concentrates on developing effective communication, creative thinking, and strong interpersonal skills alongside core professional integrity, ensuring that non-native English speakers are fully equipped to adapt to a dynamic social and environmental landscape.
