In the third or fourth year of your studies, you can choose to do internships. Whether these internships are compulsory depends on your specialisation. If, for example, you choose a more education-focused specialisation during the programme, you can do an internship at a music school or in another educational setting and use this to specialise as an independent music teacher. Students also often choose to spend half a year studying abroad in order to develop themselves in a more well-rounded way. You can do this through the Erasmus+ programme, but you can also create your own plan to travel outside Europe. You will also earn credits (ECTS) for your studies abroad.
