General requirements for university studies in Sweden as well as a Bachelor in Music 180 credits or equivalent and successful entrance tests to the Master’s Programme in Music. Exceptions can be made from the basic eligibility requirement of proficiency in Swedish for international students.
This programme is aimed at students who already hold a Bachelor’s degree in Music, or an equivalent qualification, and want to take the next step in their musical and artistic development.
The programme focuses on historical instruments and performance practice in music composed before 1800, while also encompassing a wide range of musical styles, from early music to contemporary repertoire. You will explore how instrumentation, temperament, and ornamentation influence the interpretation of different musical works, and how historically informed knowledge can be applied in practical performance.
An important part of the programme is the development of technique, interpretation, and your own artistic voice. You will learn to tackle musical challenges independently, formulate your own ideas, and make informed artistic choices. Through chamber music and a variety of projects, you will also gain experience of performing in different ensemble formations and musical contexts.
