Make a recording
This is required for all Early Music, Vocal, Classical Music and Jazz programmes
We would like you to perform and record a number of works of your own choice. The total length of the recording should not exceed 20 minutes. Enclose a list of repertoire with an explanation of why you chose to perform those pieces. Select one piece from the list that you particularly want the admission committee to hear and clearly explain the reasons for your choice. The programme should be compiled in such a way as to optimally demonstrate your technical and musical qualities. The works in the recording should be different in style and tempo.
Create a Word document with a list of all the links and the explanation of your choice of repertoire. You will upload the Word document at the appropriate question in Osiris Online Application later in the process.
Submitting scores
This is required for the main subject Composition
The scores of at least three (and preferably four) of your own compositions, together with audio recordings of the works. Midi recordings are permitted.
Recordings of exclusively electronic compositions (intended to be played via electronic media) can be submitted without a score.
If there are no recordings of a score or none can made, the score can be sent without a recording.
The following applies for all recordings that are being submitted:
Put the recordings on You Tube/Vimeo
Create a Word/PDF document with a list of the repertoire and all the activated links.
You will upload the Word/PDF document at the appropriate question in Osiris Online Application later in the process. This is required for all Early Music, Vocal, Jazz and Classical Music main subjects.
When you arrive at the Osiris Online Application website the first thing you have to do is select a language (Dutch or English).
You have already collected all the documents you need during step 1 so you can now upload them all at once to Osiris.
When you have logged on to Osiris Online Application, answer the questions that appear. Some questions must be answered (or a document has to be uploaded) and they are marked with an asterisk. Other documents can be uploaded after you have been admitted to a course, but they must also be uploaded before you commence your studies.
If you are unable to upload all of the requested documents immediately, we will send you an occasional reminder.
Note: we can only arrange a date for your entrance exam when all the mandatory documents have been uploaded.
You can save your answers as you proceed. For your application for admission to become final you must not only save the questions in Osiris Online Application, but also click on ‘Send’.
The decision on whether you will be admitted to to the programme is based on the information and the answers you have entered and the documents and recordings you have uploaded.
When you are admitted you will receive information via e-mail and Studielink about payment of tuition fees.
Only when you have fulfilled all registration requirements will you be enrolled as a student. So make sure that you have submitted all requested documents before September 1st.
More information on the fees and payment.
We wish you a lot of success with your application.
