The MMus programme aims to ensure the students’ ability to excel in today’s professional environment, where musicians must posses exceptional training as both teachers and performers. Specifically, it enhances and develops the students’ personal performance standards; the range of their performance experience; their effectiveness as pedagogues; and their problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.
The degree is primarily oriented towards students whose careers will involve a combination of performance and teaching, with a specialization on a particular performance medium. Graduates will be qualified for employment as instructors in private and public conservatories and music schools.
Examples:
Freelance Pianist and Piano Teacher
Violin Instructor in a private conservatory
Guitar Instructor in a public music lyceum

Course assessment usually comprises a comprehensive final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment may include, amongst others things, mid-terms exams, projects, and class participation.
For Applied Primary Study courses, the final examination is a performance evaluated by a jury of three faculty members, including the Primary Study instructor, the MMus Programme Coordinator, and at least one other faculty member.
Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.
Students come to UNIC from around the world, blending a diverse range of academic backgrounds, experiences, interests, talents and cultural heritage.
Admission to our University is granted under different categories, depending on the student’s qualifications and educational objectives.
