All applicants to the School of Music must first meet the general admission requirements for Memorial University. Interested in applying but don't meet Memorial University's general admission requirements? For example, are you missing credit hours in a 3000-level laboratory science course? Starting in fall 2025, applicants to the School of Music's Bachelor of Music program may be able to take advantage of expanded admission requirements through a new pilot admissions process.

About the pilot admissions process:

The School of Music and the School of Fine Arts are expanding admissions requirements to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of skillsets, learning styles, outlooks, and creativities a student includes in their application. These Schools have developed a pilot admissions process to welcome talented students from a variety of backgrounds who do not meet the current general admissions requirements.

The pilot includes the Bachelor of Music. The Joint Degrees of Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Commerce is excluded. At this time, the pilot cannot accommodate international applicants.

Students considered for admission as part of this pilot must still complete the additional requirements for competitive entry into the School of Music or the School of Fine Arts (i.e. audition on your primary instrument).

Learn more about the pilot admissions process including which high school courses have been approved for the pilot.
