Course content
The Portfolio of Compositions is the equivalent work load of one full academic year. The student chooses, in cooperation with his or her academic supervisor, one large, or several smaller, composition projects that are to be completed during the studying period of the master's degree. Regardless of whether the decision falls upon one large or a number of smaller compositions, the completed works must show a certain breadth regarding the choice of ensemble combinations and formal solutions.
