LEARNING OUTCOMES

Introducing classical music also other than the most popular repertoire, plus specialities like the history of electronic music, the course is giving a broader picture of occidental music culture to art & design students, who typically have a good all-round knowledge about visual culture, architechture, craft etc. but not necessarily about music. The student gets familiar with styles, periods and basic terminology of classical music and milestones in the evolution of music. The student can observe today s trends of music from different angles, being able to place heard music to its appropriate context.

  2. exchange students for whom the course is a part of his/her officially approved learning agreement and scheduled to be taken during the current semester;
  3. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have not completed it yet;
  4. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major s or programme s alternative studies and has been scheduled in the student's PSP (HOPS) for the current academic year
  5. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major s or programme s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
  6. students for whom the course is compulsory for their minor;
  7. students, for whom the course is part of his/her minor subject s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;

The order of priority does not apply to courses organised by the Centre for General Studies or doctoral courses.

  This decision on the order of priority does not influence the right of the teacher to define prerequisites for the course.
