Artistic In-Depth Studies

An independent postgraduate study forms the main part of the performing Master's degree. The content depends on the chosen topic.

The candidate
- can demonstrate artistic integrity and maturity.
- handle demanding challenges in the realization of their artistic intentions.
- demonstrate ambition and obvious personal profile in their repertoire choices.
- is able to initiate, implement and manage artistic projects.

Forms of instruction and activities will vary according to the theme and character of the chosen topic for the student's postgraduate study. Individual- and group instruction, seminars, master classes, and independent written work of varying character are all potential forms of study. Each student/ensemble will be assigned an academic supervisor for the entire period of the postgraduate study. The student must offer at least one Master's degree concert, or some other production during the first year of study. In the third semester the student must hold another concert/production. The final examination is a third concert/production at the end of the fourth semester.

All concerts/productions must be related to the theme and character of the chosen topic for the student's postgraduate study.
All examination psrts must be passed before the student may present himself to the final exam. If failed in one of the assessments, this particular part must be done over again.
