ACADEMIC CALENDAR 2024/2025

STUDIES

Chamber music classes:

Chamber music classes are compulsory for all BA and MA instrumentalists and students of the piano soloist programme in every semester, and they are optional modules for non-degree students. String quartet classes are compulsory for first year MA students and second year BA students of string instruments.

If you take chamber music and/or string quartet classes in a semester, before every semester you need to apply for chamber music (and string quartet) classes to be able to register for and take them in the given semester.

In the last few days, those who are eligible to apply for chamber music classes received detailed information about the application process. If you believe that you are eligible but have not received any notification, please contact us by replying to this e-mail.

Please be reminded that the application deadline is 25 August 2024 (Sunday), CEST 23:59.

Applications that exceed the student’s maximum quota are deleted, and the affected groups are rearranged, so please be careful and confirm beforehand how many chamber music groups you can have in a semester.

Applications of non-degree students who did not notify us in July about their wish to participate in chamber music classes, will also be deleted.

Application and requirements are available here.

Curriculum:

Before the new academic year starts, we advise you to recheck your curriculum, especially if you are in your last year of studies!

Please see it here.

If you have any questions about the compulsory subjects in your curriculum and the number of elective course credits, you can turn administrative staff at Room 014. (Please note, however, that the beginning of the academic year is a very busy time period and you might have to make an appointment in advance.)

It is your responsibility, however, to know how many credits you have to collect and what subjects you need to take in a given semester!
