In the third or fourth year of your studies, you can do internships. Whether these internships are compulsory depends on your specialisation. If, for example, you move more towards education 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 further and in more depth. 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 this.
