The Bachelor of Music Technology with Honours is a one year Bachelor Honours degree. Music Technology has been offered at the Queensland Conservatorium since the early 1980s. This began as a two-year diploma program that catered to the needs of a specialist profession (that is the recording studio sound engineer). Since that time the program offerings have significantly expanded to cater to a range of aspirations via certificate-level training programs, bachelors, honours, postgraduate and doctoral research qualifications. The nature of the programs have also evolved in parallel with the needs of the industry, the growth of technology and the changing face of musicianship. Now empowered by powerful computing and software systems, the musician/technologist divide increasingly breaks down as artists extend technical, creative and intellectual control over their products throughout a wide range of creative arts economies. The Conservatorium's Music Technology facilitates the development of artists and researchers in both commercial and academic contexts and provides award-winning lecturers and supervisors of the highest calibre together with state-of-the-art technological facilities to cater for all specialisations in music-making. Three fully equipped digital recording studios link with a range of computing laboratories, smart teaching spaces and performance venues via significant audio, video and network structures.

Music Technology graduates enter the industry with a powerful complement of skills in music, technology, project management, academic rigour and leadership. They come equipped with a professional portfolio of media works that encompass large-scale orchestral recording, film sound track, popular music albums, jazz recordings, internet and multimedia sound design. Music technologists are now employed in areas including television, radio, public events, forensic analysis, computer gaming, internet design, music therapy, consulting and education.
