In the Master’s programme researchers carry out their own research project with a view to their further artistic and intellectual development. The subject of the research is often closely related to their main subject. Teachers also receive the chance to obtain a Master’s degree at the Royal Conservatoire.
At the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, the following research definition has been agreed upon: ‘Research is a systematic investigation of some aspect of thought, experience or reality which leads to transferable knowledge. Research at the Royal Conservatoire is motivated through artistic practice and carried out by students and staff. It leads to knowledge that is possibly embedded in compositional, performative or educational work, and may be expressed through diverse media, including but not confined to written text.’
