Course information

The two-year masters course has a study load of 120 European Credits (EC's) and is divided into four semesters.

Students acquire competencies in ‘Leading and Guiding’, ‘Performance and Communication’, ‘Entrepreneurship and Project Management’ and ‘Action Research’. Specialisation is possible in three different areas: ‘Ensembles', ‘Collaborative Practice’ and ‘Cross-Sector Settings’. All students will work at their home institutions as well as abroad.

The Masters programme will begin with a weeklong intensive summer school week at one of the five partner institutions, where the students will be able to work with some of the programme tutors and mentors. The personal and professional development of the student is at the centre of this programme and to a large extent is tailor-made, with each student having his/her own personal development plan, set up with his/her mentor. This plan will include the choice of overseas institution and the optional modules to be undertaken, as well as details relating to the ‘professional integration project’ that each student will carry out during the second year.
