Content
Students may reserve some of their credits for educational activities of their own choosing. We call this Extracurricular Activity.
Example activities include teaching activities (but only if the elective "Educational Traineeship" is not part of the student's program), producing an album, doing a commercial traineeship, participating in a masterclass or summer school, performing a series of concerts, or substituting in a band.
Participating in an interdisciplinary project, that includes not only music, but also another art form or other art forms (such as dance, theater, all visual arts, creative writing, fashion) is highly appreciated as an extracurricular activity.
Students can also take lessons from another faculty or institution.
Students can also earn credits through organizational activities in projects, student councils or course committees, or work (for instance as a volunteer) for music organizations.
Students must come up with their own ideas for extracurricular activities. Once annually, the coordinator will request students to send in a written activity proposal, for which they will be given a form. The coordinator will assess these proposals. In case of doubt as to relevance, feasibility or study load, the coordinator will invite the student for an interview. The same will be done when the student cannot come up with activities on their own. Only after both the coordinator and exam committee have approved the proposal can the student earn their credits.
