With this we hope to provide you a good overview of all the facilities and projects that Codarts has to offer, but also of the sometimes complex rules within the institute and educational system. This is the second year we have written a handbook for you. We will do our utmost to keep improving this handbook during the coming years, and we ask you for your help in this process. If you feel that certain matters are missing from the handbook or have been incorrectly mentioned, please notify us by sending your suggestions to [email protected]. Together we will improve communication. In this handbook you can find practical information and important dates, as well as rules and regulations. Every Classical Music student on the Bachelor course is expected to be aware of the information inside this handbook. Please note: this handbook is an extra guidance tool, not an official, legally binding document. Documents which can be found on the intranet (such as the study guide) are always definitive. We will do our very best to prepare you as well as we can for a great and beautiful career. This means we will always try to keep you informed about the possibilities that Codarts has to offer. In return we expect a professional attitude from you towards the obligations you will come across during your studies at Codarts. We hope you will always come and find us if you wish to talk about your study, in Chapter 2.2 you can read how to find us and where. We are always open to your ideas and willing to improve. If you wish to take action yourself in improving our department, you can join the student panel. This is a great opportunity to stand up for the wishes and needs of your fellow students and really make a change. On behalf of all the teachers and staff of the Classical Music Department, we wish you all a fantastic time at Codarts.

A module can be a single course, a part of a course or a cluster of courses that form a unity in itself. Each module ends with an examination. In the module descriptions you will find information about: schedules, purpose and content of the course, responsible teachers, examination structure, number of study points, and any other needed information. A link to these modules will be send to you by email.
