Classical Music
 / Bachelor and Master
 
Bachelor
The four-year Bachelor's programme consists of a core curriculum, choice of a specialization beyond the core curriculum (major) and a free elective (minor). In the first two years, the core curriculum (70% of your study) comprises a mixture of music theory, basic repertoire, auditory/solfège, music history and classes related to your main degree subject, such as chamber music and orchestral training. These classes are provided by (guest) lecturers from the Netherlands and abroad.

Specialization
Study load & European Credits (ECs) (credits)
1 (one) credit represents 28 study load hours. Students must achieve 60 ECs per year, and are expected to dedicate 1,680 hours per year to their studies. One full academic year comprises 42 weeks. The total study load is therefore 1,680 : 42 =  40 hours per week.
Master
Whether you are a specialist or a musical jack-of-all-trades, you will have to meet the high standards of professional practice. If you want to increase your chances on the labour market and broaden your musical horizon, you can enrol in the Master of Music programme after graduating from the Bachelor of Music or a similar degree programme. This will enable you to deepen your specialisation and develop into a professional and versatile musician at the highest level.
