Through your chosen specialisations in your final study years, you will be well prepared for your musical niche in the professional field. You will know what you have to offer, and which market(s) it is relevant to.
Upon completion of the programme, you will be awarded the Bachelor of Music degree and will then be able to use the official title Bachelor of Music (BMus). This programme is registered in the Registratie Instellingen en Opleidingen (RIO) under code 34739.
You can perform as part of a band, ensemble or orchestra, or appear as a soloist at venues and festivals. You can also work as a studio musician. An interdisciplinary practice is another option — think of performances with fine art, theatre and dance. We assume that every graduate will engage with teaching in some form, whether at music schools, arts centres or within a private teaching practice. Almost all professional musicians combine several of the activities mentioned above.

With the ArtEZ Master of Music, you can specialise further in the musical direction that appeals to you most. The two-year Tailor-Made Music in Education in Zwolle leads to a first-degree teaching qualification. If you choose Tailor-Made Music in Education as a second bachelor’s degree, you will be able to pay the reduced statutory tuition fee rate.
Many of our students go on to work as self-employed professionals or combine a salaried position with entrepreneurship. That is why ArtEZ places strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, both during and after your studies.
