5. Electives

For non-music electives (Arts Faculty subjects), students must take a minimum of 25 points up to a maximum of 50 points of arts subjects (75 points for musicology students). In choosing these, students are urged to consider in particular foreign languages relevant to musical study, comparative studies in the arts, religion and philosophy, or subjects considering political, social or economic factors which affect the arts.

In addition, the following music elective subjects are available. The academic electives are available in third and fourth year and in the graduate programs. Each is worth 12.5 points.
