Each course represents a profile or specialisation of conducting;

of on-campus sessions in Stavanger, among them Dirigentuka
(Conductor's week) in August, where the students must be
present.
The programme is open to applicants worldwide and the language of
teaching is English. The target group is musicians at a high
artistic performance level.
It is a prerequisite that the students have access to conduct an
ensemble during the year of studying.
