The 6 April 2009 marked the founding of the new Faculty of the VCA and Music (VCAM), which brings together a wide range of creative disciplines including Art, Music, Dance, Theatre, Production and Film and Television, and offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in each of these discipline areas.

The integration of the Faculty of the VCA and Faculty of Music into a single Faculty heralds exciting opportunities for the arts within The University of Melbourne.

In 2010 the School of Music will offer two degrees: the Bachelor of Music and the Bachelor of Music Performance.

• Bachelor of Music for students pursuing a specialization in performance, composition, musicology or ethnomusicology, and for students wishing to extend their education through graduate training to become music educators or music therapists, as well as graduate study in the otherfour undergraduate specialisations.
• Bachelor of Music Performance for students pursuing a specialisation in Improvisation.
