Classical Master Electives

If you want to register for an elective, please fill out the form sent by Tatiana Nunes Rosa.
Courses which have less than five registrations before July 1, will be cancelled.

Do you know how many credits you must earn by taking electives? If not, please check the information on your principal subject or profile in the Classical or Early Music Master Study Guide. NB: This is currently still the Study Guide of 2019-2020, so please, do not select your master electives from this guide, but from the updated list below.

You will see that some of the courses listed below are mandatory or recommended for students of certain principal subjects or profiles. In these cases, too, they will be counted to your electives package.

Each elective can be combined with others so as to create a connected package. The course descriptions below contain suggestions for such combinations under the header 'Related electives'.
