About this program
The Bachelor of Music at the Royal Conservatoire is a four-year programme that leads to a Bachelor’s qualification as a musician. In the bachelor programme students can develop their artistic and creative qualities to the highest possible standard, with the help of our teachers who are all professional artists. We foster excellence, creativity, and flexibility in our students by continually challenging them to pursue new paths and directions in professional practice. The curriculum offers students plenty of opportunities to fully develop their personal strengths on the basis of traditional values such as craftsmanship, artistic vision and knowledge of the repertoire. From the second year onwards, the curriculum is expanded with a range of electives and minors to allow students to develop additional skills and explore new areas. By taking part in (inter)national projects with orchestras and ensembles, students learn how to work in a professional environment. Our Professional Preparation courses help students make the transition from study to professional practice, giving them the skills to succeed in a mixed professional practice.
