Step 3: Enrol
After you complete your audition, the panel will evaluate your performance and assess your aptitude and potential to succeed at AMPA.
If your audition is successful, you will receive a Letter of Offer in the post. This letter will include instructions on how to log-in to the AMPA Online portal where you can respond to your offer.
By accepting an offer to study at AMPA, your place at AMPA is secure. We’ll get in touch with you shortly after we receive your acceptance to arrange your enrolment and orientation at AMPA.
Additional Information
Piano, keyboard, amps, drum kit, and sound system for backing tracks is provided for all auditions. Guitarists should bring their own leads, and drummers their own sticks and brushes. Applicants must provide their own backing track and accompanist if required.
At the audition, applicants will have the opportunity to tour the campus if they have not already visited AMPA for an Open Day or other event. Please ask at reception on the day if you’d like a tour.
International & Interstate Applicants
Interstate and international applicants will be invited to submit their audition via video, or by alternative arrangement as discussed with the Admissions Officer once their application has been received.
International applicants who come from non-English speaking backgrounds must meet the minimum English proficiency requirements prior to commencing a degree.
