MASTER International Music Performance Exchange Semester (MUM-INTSEM2)

Content

This course code covers both inbound students to UiS, as well as UiS students who choose to travel abroad. For inbound students, the course will mainly include performance activities aimed at MA level, including principal instrument and ensemble activities. For outbound UiS students, the student will primarily follow teaching programmes at the corresponding level at the exchange institution and through this continue their artistic development that has begun at UiS. It will be possible to have several academic arrangements for the course International Semester, both for inbound and outbound UiS students, within the same framework as the parallel course code MUM201- Master Project at UiS. In addition, the course International Semester may also include theoretical and/or pedagogical components, but the performing area must account for at least half of the total workload.
