Candidates are required to have one of the following:

A BMus.
A four-year honours BA in music.
A four-year BA with a major in music.
Or an equivalent degree or diploma.

A 75 percent (B+) average is required for the undergraduate degree or diploma. If the degree is from a conservatory, it is deemed equivalent if so indicated on the transcript, or if the total course work is equivalent, to a four-year BA, and includes the equivalent of 6 units in music history and 6 units in music theory. In addition, applicants must perform an audition, submit a dossier of compositions or example of writing from undergraduate work in music history or music theory. The choice of evaluation depends on whether the student wishes to pursue the performance/composition stream or the musicology/theory stream. Applicants may be asked to take placement tests in music history, music theory or aural skills. If remedial work is necessary, deficiencies must be remedied by the end of the first year.

Candidates are admitted either to the MMus or the MA. A student who has successfully completed the requirements of the MMus degree may, instead of accepting the MMus, become a candidate for the MA with the approval of the Graduate Studies Committee.

Students who have completed a first MMus and who are admitted to a second MMus, will receive an equivalence of 6 units.

Students who have completed the Microprogram in Composition for Media will receive an equivalence of 9 units upon admission to the MMus, Concentration in Composition.
