Step 1: Apply to the ANU

You must apply to the ANU either directly (current year 12 students) or through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

Domestic applications – ANU Undergraduate

International applications – ANU Undergraduate

Current ANU students – Transferring between degrees

For further information on how to apply to ANU please visit the ANU website.

Pathways - Students who successfully complete the below program will be eligible to apply through UAC and admitted into a Bachelor of Music.

• DP-BD72 Diploma of Music (CUA50820) offered by the Canberra Institute of Technology 

Step 2: Create an Embark Account

Performance Major/Minor Only

Registrations in Embark are now only necessary for applicants registering for a place in Performance. Performance applicants must create an account in Embark to register or upload an audition. If you have a problem creating an Embark account or uploading issues, please contact the Embark Helpdesk in the first instance.

Performance Auditions 

To be accepted into the Performance Major or Minor you will need to pass audition. Please note that this does not replace the ANU application process (see step 1). All students who successfully audition will be automatically considered for relevant scholarships. When applying for an ANU Bachelor degree program, you may be eligible to receive performance-based adjustments of up to 5 points. More information can be found here.

You will attend a live audition (preferred) OR submit a digital audition, both of which must be prepared as per the Audition Guide (Audition Guide not yet released for 2025 auditions - please watch this webpage for updates).

Audition outcomes will be sent early December.
