Programme content
The courses cover areas such as sound and studio technology, film and film music, recording techniques for different ensembles, interactive media and adaptive music.

The third and final year offers significant opportunities to strengthen your own profile and specialisation.
30 credits, ECTS, of the programme are reserved for elective courses, corresponding to one full term of study.
