Programme structureThe programme focuses on the student’s development as a musician and artist. Emphasis is placed on the main instrument and on subjects supporting and developing a creative and reflected approach to creating music.The programme gives students a great deal of freedom, for example when choosing electives. Electives are studied in joint classes with other MMus students from all programmes.Artistic entrepreneurship, which is concluded after the 2nd semester, provides the student with relevant tools for administering his/her artistic and pedagogical ambitions through e.g. self-management and entrepreneurial skills.The programme concludes with a student-defined Master’s project based on student interests and needs. The project constitutes the student’s specialisation in jazz/pop music.
