Students
Students prepare a portfolio presentation, or prepare an audition, dealing with all aspects relevant: selecting pieces, writing material, arranging pieces, choosing musicians, rehearsals, organizing instrument set-up (where necessary) and stage presentation.
All skills, aims and contents of the entire study curriculum are relevant to the audition. If the student graduates at the end of the fourth year, the audition takes place in a concert hall or a film theater. In all other cases, the audition will take place in a classroom and no technical support will be offered.

Audition and/or portfolio presentation that can be conducted on-campus or online.

Student's own material.

Students independently organize all aspects relevant to the presentation.

Presentation/Audition for a panel of three to five teachers. As a rule, two of the panel members are film-m or theater composers. The presentation is usually public. If the student graduates at the end of the fourth year, such a presentation takes place in the concert hall or a room where film can be run. In all other cases, the audition will take place in a classroom and no technical support will be offered.

The student has completed this module if being awarded a minimum grade of 5.5.

Examiners use an outline of relevant criteria to assess students, with the average grade being used as the final grade.
The examiners hand in their assessment forms 'face-down' to the chair, who then reviews whether the assessments are sufficiently similar, i.e., whether the graded evaluations diverge no more than two points. If there are no problems in this area, the chair subsequently fills out the complete chair form, which contains, in the verbal part, a summary of the reasoned evaluations provided by the several examiners. The average grade of the examiners' evaluations is used as the final grade.
In case the examiners' assessments diverge more than allowed, the chair initiates a panel discussion, and firstly asks the relevant examiners (whose grades diverge more than two points) to provide a further explanation. Subsequently the other examiners are allowed to participate in the discussion, and the chair eventually asks them to re-vote in consideration of the issues raised during the discussion. If the grades now fall within the permissible two-point range of divergence, the chair calculates the average grade of the re-vote and copies it to the chair form, under the heading of 're-vote', and this new average will serve as the final grade.
If the grades are still too dissimilar, the chair also uses the average of the re-vote as final grade, adding a note on the chair form indicating why (from their perspective) the examiners were unable to find common ground.
Tests conducted online are valid only if it is done without interruption. The chair will decide whether or not the test was valid.
