Les programmes de master de l’enseignement supérieur artistique et de l’enseignement supérieur hors université cités ci-dessous (catégorie 3) donnent un accès direct au master moyennant : (1) des connaissances théoriques et/ou une expérience pratique en arts du spectacle acquises antérieurement à l’entrée en master; (2) la remise d’un dossier; (3) un entretien d’admission obligatoire, à la mi-septembre, à l’issue duquel le jury peut décider d’un complément éventuel de 15 crédit maximum, à suivre durant la 1ère année du master.
 
> MA en musique Accès direct au master moyennant ajout éventuel de 15 crédits max Type long

Adults taking up their university training
> See the website www.uclouvain.be/vae
Pour accéder au master en arts du spectacle, les adultes en reprise d’études, s’ils ne sont pas titulaires d’un diplôme autorisant l’accès direct au master,  peuvent faire valoir les savoirs et compétences utiles acquis par leur expérience personnelle ou professionnelle (VAE). Cette expérience utile doit correspondre à au moins cinq années d’activités, compte non tenu des années d’études supérieures qui n’ont pas été réussies. Au terme d’une procédure d’évaluation, un jury juge si les aptitudes et connaissances des candidats sont suffisantes pour suivre le master avec succès et impose éventuellement un complément de cours de 15 crédits maximum (ces cours seront désignés par le jury parmi les cours de l’année préparatoire et suivis durant la première année du master). Le Centre d’études théâtrales favorise résolument la présence des adultes aux côtés des jeunes étudiants. Pour leur permettre de suivre les études tout en travaillant, les cours sont en majorité regroupés sur certains jours de la semaine. Les étudiants qui justifient d’une occupation professionnelle sont autorisés à étaler leur master sur trois ou quatre années, à condition que la décision soit prise avant l’inscription à l’année d’études et reçoive l’accord de la direction du Centre.

Personalized access
Reminder : all Masters (apart from Advanced Masters) are also accessible on file.

Teaching method

Retour en début de pageStrong points of the pedagogical approach

The master 120 offers original and dynamic teaching: the links with the University of Liège and the higher education institutions IMEP and IHECS have helped us develop a unique set of courses in the French community, geared towards giving a more professional edge to the skills and knowledge acquired during the first level, depending in each case on the student's profile.

Alongside solid university training in musicology, the programme uses resources linked to an active teaching methodology which trains students in careers in music, particularly through internships (links with various Belgian cultural bodies: Théâtre royal de la Monnaie, asbl Flagey, Festival Ars Musica, Maison de la musique de Bxl, MIM, etc.), as well as providing contacts in the worlds of culture and music.

Moreover, the student is called upon to carry out numerous activities 'in the field' (internships, concerts, musical exercises, seminars, study days, etc) which put him in direct contact with current musicology and its associated careers. These activities are subject to continuous, regular assessment.

This master chooses a teaching method in which lectures are accompanied by a range of mandatory lectures. The professor/dissertation supervisor/director of research also takes on the role of tutor which guarantees intensive, one-on-one follow-up support for the student.

Retour en début de pageEvaluation

The written and oral exams aim to measure knowledge acquired and the student's grasp of concepts, theory and his knowledge and skills in the different disciplines in question.

Pedagogical activities (exercises) are subject to permanent evaluation.

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.



Mobility and/or international links
Several Belgian institutions are partners in the programme (student mobility agreements which do not lead to dual degrees) :

Students on the 120 Master’s programme may take 30 credits in other university institutions in Belgium or abroad, and/or do work placements in Belgium or abroad (related to their final dissertation and/or their focus).
