Description

Courses in this Exchange Study Programme are meant for Incoming Exchange Students who study music/music pedagogue or related study field at their home institution. An exchange agreement with Jamk and the home institution including music as a study field is required. Students should contact their home institution’s International Office/Services to find out if an co-operation agreement exists.

The courses are part of our curricula for degree students and are taught in English. Studying is full-time and includes both contact lessons, online work, independent studying and/or group work. There is no specific exam period, exams are usually at the end of each course.

In this Exchange Study Programme the courses typically run for the whole academic year. Exchange students studying for one semester may choose the courses and complete half of the credits. If student chooses Instrumental Studies (individual instrumental lessons), main instrument and secondary must be mentioned in the application/study plan. NB! teaching the specific instrument might not necessarily be available, but students are welcome to choose from the listed theory courses.

One ECTS credit is equivalent to about 27 hours of student work.
