The Bachelor of Music (BMus) is designed specifically for students wishing to become career musicians. Admission to the BMus therefore requires that you audition on your main instrument and demonstrate an intermediate or advanced level. In addition, the University of Ottawa is one of the only institutions in the country to offer the possibility of combining the BMus program in performance with a major in science.

You must have at least a secondary school diploma from a Canadian province or territory, or the equivalent (country-specific). If you’re applying for an English-language program and you have not completed at least three years of full-time study in an institution where English is the only language of instruction (aside from in language courses), located in a country where English is an official language, you must submit your official score in one of the following language tests recognized by the University.
