Contextual focus:
1. The student is abreast of developments in the professional field, field of activity and society. The student shows the way they integrate this into their professional behaviour and commitment to their own professional practice and society.
2. The student identifies opportunities in society and translates these into concrete actions. They dare to take risks and present themselves through their products or activities.

5. The student is demonstrably enterprising and knows how to acquire work and commissions.
Research and development:
1. The student asks critical questions and is open to answering other people's questions.
2. The student reflects upon their own assumptions, preferences, strengths and weaknesses and understands how all of these affect their development and professional opportunities.

4. The student provides well-founded opinions on the artistic value of their own work and that of others and on the extent that it corresponds with the intentions of the creator.
7. The student proactively organises their own input gathered by way of reflection, feedback and research, and uses the knowledge, insights and skills gained to further develop their work, professional position and professional field.
8. The student explores and recognises innovations in the field, experiments with them and creates their own innovations.
Communicative:
1. The student presents themselves and their work, individually and/or collectively, in a way that suits the presented work and the envisaged audience.
5. The student uses verbal, writing and digital skills to convey their own work, working method, vision and results of research convincingly and effectively to professionals and audience.
Organisational:
1. The student sets realistic goals, plans work and works according to plans.
2. The student possesses sufficient commercial, organisational and administrative knowledge and skills, makes professional arrangements to set up and continue their professional practice.
3. The student organises working processes in relation to one another, striking a balance between artistic, commercial and facilitating activities.
5. The student is alert to and acts upon changing situations and circumstances and helps solve and answer various complex, context-related problems and issues.
6. The student is abreast of relevant preconditions and knows how to deal with them.

This Master-wide course focuses on context and cohesion in the broadest sense. Links are made between various pathways, as well as different parts of the curriculum: on an individual level in the study plan, and on an interdisciplinary level in a common project week. In this week theory and creativity are alternated, as designed and supervised by the instructors of all pathways.

The Study Plan is something students can use to engage more fully as leaders and co-creators of their own study experience. Beyond just setting out their class plans, it can function to build an engaged role in setting their individual goals and focus in their study. The Study Plan is also a way for students to interact with their mentors, teachers and research coaches in deepening their learning. It provides a powerful opportunity to learn how to develop an inner compass of what is important for their further career. The student sets up an individual study plan, prepares it, evaluates in, and adjusts personal goals. The progress and professional development of the student is supervised by the mentor.
In the Study Plan, the students should motivate their reasons for taking on the Master degree, based on personal fascinations and interests, activities in the work field so far, and expectations of their development. The way students engage with the study plan contributes to them becoming aware of their unique creativity and leadership ability. By taking charge of their learning through the study plan, students are thus learning how to do leadership.
In a final critical reflection at the end of year 2, the students look back on the plans with which they entered the Master of Music, how and why these changed during the years, how these changes were influenced by ongoing development, learning and explorations. Sharing their thoughts on the resulting final performance is part of the critical reflection as well. This way students become aware of their unique creativity and leadership ability: by taking charge of their learning and development throughout the Master of Music, students are learning how to take the lead.
The two Meet the Master days are part of the Study Plan. The goal of these days is to meet other Master of Music students, inspiration, and the stimulation of multidisciplinary projects and cross-overs. In the first meeting, students present their work and introduce themselves. The second meeting will be focusing on the Study Plan for year 2; all students present their plans for year 2 briefly and show how they include research in their lessons and activities. First year students incorporate these Meet the Master days in their reflection report in the Study Plan. Second year students incorporate the Meet the Master days in their final critical reflection.

The evaluators' ratings are equally weighted in the final assessment, which is expressed as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. A satisfactory results in a pass.

The evaluators assess the Study Plan and the mentor discusses the evaluation personally with the student.
