LUCA Cross-Campus Electives

Due to the corona virus, some of the 'LUCA-wide' courses offered will be open exclusively to students from the particular campus. More information about this can be obtained from the beginning of September at the counselling service of your study programme.

Per masterjaar volgen de LUCA-masterstudenten twee opleidingsonderdelen uit onderstaand campus-overschrijdend aanbod, op één of twee campussen naar keuze. Voor de studenten van de masteropleiding Muziek is het aantal te volgen opleidingsonderdelen afhankelijk van de gekozen specialisatie. Samen met de trajectbegeleider van de eigen opleiding wordt bekeken of de gekozen opleidingsonderdelen gevolgd mogen worden en gecombineerd kunnen worden met het eigen lessenrooster. Voor sommige van deze opleidingsonderdelen is het aantal plaatsen beperkt. Inschrijven moet gebeuren via de ISP-aanvraag.
