This is why it’s important to us that our students are able to tailor their studies to be as unique as their skills and interests! We’re beyond proud that we are able to help our students to achieve a more robust creative education than ever before with our Double Degree programs.

For the first time in JMC Academy’s long (the longest in Australia’s) history as a creative education provider, we are pleased to offer two  double degrees to our students:  

• Bachelor of Music & Bachelor of Entertainment Business Management,  
• Bachelor of Creative Technology (Audio Engineering and Sound Production) & Bachelor of Entertainment Business Management.  

These innovative programs offer our students a way to pair technical skills in audio engineering, sound production, music performance, songwriting and music production with the essential business know-how required to succeed in the ever-evolving entertainment industry. This unique blend of artistry and business acumen sets our students on a path to further unleash their creative potential and seize a plethora of career possibilities.

For our emerging musicians, the Bachelor of Music & Bachelor of Entertainment Business Management program equips students with the skills to manage their own career and transform their music into a marketable product. On the other hand, audio engineers delve into a realm where they can seamlessly navigate both the studio and the music business world, gaining the expertise to manage their own business or freelance career. 

The most exciting thing about these double degrees is the transformational impact they can have on an emerging creative’s career in just ONE additional year of study. With JMC Academy's accelerated courses, students can earn TWO undergraduate degrees in a mere THREE years (a feat that would take much longer at a ‘traditional’ university).  

In this extra year of study, students will learn a wide range of skills that are crucial for success in the entertainment industry. Some of the offerings include: 

• Copywriting and Publishing: Learn the art of crafting compelling narratives and getting their creative work in front of their target audience.
• Finance for Entertainment: Master the financial aspects of the entertainment business, ensuring their creative ventures are not only artistically satisfying but also financially sustainable. 
• Talent Development (A&R): Explore the world of artist and repertoire, discovering how to find and nurture talented individuals to create musical magic. Dive in further through an elective in talent hunting. 
• Entertainment Marketing: Gain the expertise needed to promote creative work effectively and captivate audiences. 
• Tour and Festival Management: Dive into the intricate world of organising tours + festivals and make sure every performance runs smoothly. For those with global aspirations, you can choose an elective in International tour management.
• Strategic Public Relations: Learn the art of maintaining a positive image in the public eye, a crucial skill for all creative professionals. 
• Deal Making: Strike the best deals for creative endeavors. 

A Double Degree from JMC Academy not only gives students the opportunity to acquire an extremely unique skill set, but also provides access to a vast network of industry experts and real-world opportunities to propel them into rewarding creative career paths. With mentorship from seasoned industry professionals to help our students navigate the competitive landscape of the creative industry, they will graduate knowing that they have the skills required to adapt to changes in the industry and open doors to diverse career opportunities, including event, festival, and tour management, artist management, journalism, marketing, and much more.

With one additional year, transform your passion for music or audio engineering into a multifaceted career that fulfils both your creative and practical aspirations. Seize the opportunity to maximise your creative potential and embark on a fulfilling journey in the creative industries with JMC Academy's Double Degrees.
