Our profile is modelled on internationally recognised performing arts environments (classical, jazz, folk music), composition, music therapy, musicology and music education. The study programme emphasises independence and reflection. Students are able to explore a wide range of expressions and practical approaches, and develop through dialogue and critical discussion.
