Specialisation Diploma
Three year with final examination| Regulation | ||
| In order to enter the three-year
course for the Specialisation Diploma,
musicians with possession of a regular diploma or first level degree achieved in Italy or abroad, must take an admission exam. Admission at the final examination will be subordinated to the frequency, which must not be below 2/3ds of the lessons imparted totally during the three years. The board of examiners will be formed, besides the professors, with internationally distinguished musicians. The students admitted to the final exam under the form of a concert must submit a written application, in a simple letter, addressed to the director and make a deposit of € 200 as examination fee. The organization reserves itself the right of modifying the regulation, if it eventually should become necessary, in order to make more suitable the development of the courses. |
