Academic Calendar

The academic year starts at the beginning of November. Most courses last the whole academic year, therefore the Conservatory

doesn’t have a real semester teaching structure. Nevertheless, exchange students may come for the so-called

second semester in February and have individual agreements with their teachers about programmes and exams. Exams take

place at the end of each course. Extra exam sessions can be agreed on by your teacher.

The common assessment methods may include attendance, oral and written exams, individual performance, group performance.
