Master general information

As a first step in the admission procedure, we will consider your recordings and motivation form. Please consult this link regarding the application.

Recordings
Please submit a portfolio consisting of three or more recordings of your original compositions with a total minimal length of approximately 20 minutes. Choose a variety of pieces with different musical feels that show your overall musical and artistic level.

Upload the recordings to YouTube, Vimeo or Soundcloud. In case your work has been released: please enclose the relevant links. Make a PDF or word document listing the activated links and upload the document in ‘Osiris Aanmeld’.

Second round: If you advance into the second round of the application process, it is possible to play one of the same pieces that you sent in in the first round. Our application committee would of course like to get to know you further as a musician, so new repertoire is preferred.

Please be aware that the committee will choose a selection of your prepared repertoire on the day.

Motivation form
Please download the form here, answer the questions including the specific questions for the Jazz department and upload the form to ‘Osiris Aanmeld’.

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. For the Master programme, the Master Project Plan of the candidate will also be discussed during the second round. See the Master Project Plan Guidelines document at the end of the page.

If you have any questions, please contact Giulia Bättig, coordinator of the Jazz Department

Please contact Student Administration if you have technical questions regarding the application and upload of documents.
