This Programme provides students with an intermediate understanding of the fundamentals of music with a focus on vocal, instrumental, and composition skills as an initial preparation for employment in the music industry. The programme also intends students to develop the ability to hear, identify, and work conceptually with elements of music such as rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, texture, and form. Students are introduced to a broad and exciting array of music genres based on a well-rounded training in the fundamentals of musicianship.

The minimum entry requirement for fresh school leavers to Certificate in Music (Level 4) is successful completion of studies up to Fiji’s Sixth Form (12 years of continuous progression), with 50% in English or equivalent. 

Applicants may also be admitted to Certificate in Music (Level 4) programmes who may not meet the 12 years of continuous progression requirement, but who are able to demonstrate their ability to succeed in programmes at these levels based on maturity, work experience, or prior learning. The Dean may require such an applicant to sit for any specific or general examination as a prerequisite for any such enrolment, or may restrict enrolment only to certain prescribed courses, which must be passed to progress further.
