Undergraduate and Graduate studies are carried out through the five year integrated undergraduate and graduate university study programmes.

Courses

Studies at the Academy of Music are organised around individual and group courses. Through its individual approach to teaching, the Academy of Music provides tutorial support for every student. Public concert performances and presentations of works are an integral part of the teaching process. The tutorial type of individual and artistic teaching is characterized by a high concentration of teaching content. Group classes in theoretical subjects take place in small or medium-sized groups, depending on the level and complexity of the course. Students and teachers are expected to participate actively and collaboratively in classes. Field work in musicology is organized around research in archives. Courses which require practical work take place at both general and music primary and secondary schools with Academy students’ attending and observing their teachers’ classes and conducting a class themselves.
