Norges musikkhøgskole Norwegian Academy of Music Search

The faculty encompasses a wide range of styles and approaches. The students’ own initiative and musical preferences very much help define the department’s identity and the contents of the study programme. Musical judgement and awareness of artistic decisions are developed through coaching, dialogue and performance of the students’ own works.

The academy wishes to foster innovation and individual development. The aim is to create independent composers with wide-ranging skills in the field of art music and to give the students practice and experience to enable them to thrive in the commercial sector.

The department has excellent expertise in electrophony and extensive experience with cross-disciplinary expressions. The computer is an essential tool when developing musical ideas and structures and carrying out the music.

Specialisation in interdisciplinary composition, acoustic composition, creative music technology and jazz composition is offered at master level.

Exchange opportunities

The Academy has exchange agreements with European music academies, allowing students to complete parts of their studies abroad.
