In the FRIBA programme you get the opportunity to combine content from the other study programmes. This is done, among other ways, by following courses from various genre specializations. FRIBA enables you, for example, to study both composition and performance or to study several main instruments simultaneously. It can also give you the opportunity to study genres that are not taught in the other study programs, mainly based on relevant teaching staff and resources at NMH.
The first two years of FRIBA are only taught in Norwegian, and a sufficient level of Norwegian is required to be able to follow tuition. If you have completed two years (120 ECTS credits) of performance or composition studies at another institution, you can apply for the 3rd and 4th year (2nd module), which may be taught in English. See Admission requirements below for details.
When you have completed your studies, you will have acquired a broad music education that can serve as a stepping stone towards a diversified music career both in Norway and internationally. You will learn a great deal about independent work and project development.
