Applications to studies with entrance exam:
As the primary admission, all applicants for performing music studies must go through 2 rounds of entrance exams. Round 1 is carried out by submitting a self-produced video recording.
If you pass round 1, you will be invited to round 2. Round 2 consists of an audition and an interview, as well as a theory and aural skill test for bachelor applicants. A 20-30 minute audition with an interview is set aside for each applicant, and you must be prepared to have to perform the entire audition programme.
The commission that evaluates your entrance exam in round 2 is the same that evaluates your video for round 1. Within the entrance exam, an interview will also take place in which a representative from the study administration participates. During the interview, you will have the opportunity to explain your goals and motivation for the study, and at the same time you will have the opportunity to ask questions to both the teacher and the study administration. Applicants for master's and PDM will also discuss their submitted plans for a future master's/PDM project with the commission.
