Progression and companion subjects
Published enrolment tables are attached to this profile. Add the course to your plan to check listed exclusions and concurrent-course requirements. Prior learning, eligibility and timing still need school confirmation.
No complete companion or exclusion review is attached to this profile. Check the official course-entry conditions, language eligibility and your school’s sequence before enrolling. Links between resource hubs show related learning; they do not establish a compulsory prerequisite.
Will I find it hard?
Difficulty depends on your experience, interests, teaching and assessment. These are our reflection prompts, not an official difficulty rating.
- Do you enjoy practising, making or performing and responding to feedback?
- Think about sustained work on a creative project and documenting how your ideas develop.
Does it scale up or down?
Music 2, 2025. UAC Table A3 reports separate means for reported HSC marks and scaled marks per unit, with candidature for each course in 2025. These are cohort statistics. They do not supply individual raw exam marks or a conversion between the two columns. Historical cohort data cannot predict your result or a future scaling direction.
| Mean reported HSC mark per unit | Mean scaled mark per unit | Students |
|---|---|---|
| 43.7 | 34.1 | 762 |
Scaling is not a measure of difficulty or a guaranteed bonus. Prioritise content you can engage with and required subjects for courses you are considering.
