The entrance exam

For the first round of the audition (pre-selection), we need the following from you:

  • Please send at least two recordings with a total length of 15-20 minutes. The pieces should be chosen from different style periods and provide an opportunity to assess your technical level and musicality. Stylistic understanding and affinity with the music played will also be considered. Please find information on making a recording on the application page.
  • In addition to the recordings, the Master Project Plan is also part of the pre-selection.

If you are through to the second round, you can prepare the same works. Please bring a programme so that the jury knows what you have prepared. The audition lasts 20-25 minutes, including a discussion of your Master Project Plan.

If you have questions about your study programme please contact Teunis van der Zwart (Head of Department).

With technical questions regarding your application or upload of any video materials, please contact Student Administration.

Master Project Plan
Before you start the master you must hand in a Master Project Plan. In your Master Project Plan you present your plans for the design of your master's programme and your Master Project in which your artistic development, research and entrepreneurship play an important role. See the Master Project Plan Guidelines document at the end of the page.
