Memorial Music and Commerce motivation letter

Memorial's joint Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Commerce applicants submit a 750-word motivation letter after their application. The school asks for relevant past experiences, career plans, and reasons for pursuing the joint degrees. This letter belongs to the joint program, not to every Bachelor of Music application.

Writing format

750-word motivation letter for the joint BMus/BCom degree

What to prepare

  1. 1Use a music project and a commerce-related experience, where you have them, to show what each field contributes to your plans.
  2. 2Explain why studying the two degrees together serves your goals better than describing two unrelated interests.
  3. 3Make the career plan specific enough to connect past preparation with the opportunities you hope to pursue.

How to approach the writing

Before you submit

The School of Music page states the letter requirement but does not label it with a 2027 intake. Confirm the live joint-degree form, deadlines, and other required music materials before submitting.
