At the ArtEZ Master of Music, you are given a great deal of freedom to make your own choices concerning your range of classes. The information on this page is about how you can choose electives.
Along with the compulsory part of the curriculum, your choices will largely determine the areas that you will be developing through the classes on your course. This means that it is extremely important to think this through properly. Here, you should consult the teachers who you consider to be best suited for advising you. Do not hesitate to approach all your teachers when seeking advice about their specific professional area. In addition, you will have an interview with your mentor, who can go through all the options with you and examine them. The important questions that you will be discussing with your mentor are:
What are your interests? What are your strong points? Which areas are not yet strongly developed but where you feel it is important to improve them? What are your expectations of your future profession and – bearing this in mind – are there areas that you would like to develop more thoroughly?
Please note that for some electives there are specific prerequisites, for example, that you must have completed a particular subject, be studying at a certain faculty or on-campus. Those requirements are listed in the description of the subject under “Prerequisites.”
Each year during the months of May and June, you can be making your selection from the Electives for the next academic year.
Your selection is only for the next academic year and cannot be altered, so consider all your choices very carefully before submitting your application. You must complete and pass all the components.
In principle, once approved, a choice will also be implemented. But if a module is undersubscribed, consultations will then be held, normally end of August, to see how this can be solved. Typical solutions are: alternative mode of instruction, offering a similar elective or asking you to come up with an alternative from the list.
A digital form (My Electives) is used to fill out your choices. You can find that form here.
To the left of each elective you find the number of credits and the applicable curricular domain for that elective:
P = Practical Classes | T = Theory Classes | C = Community Classes | E = Educational Classes | B = Business Classes
