Career opportunities

• As a graduate in this programme of study you will have several career opportunities, both locally and internationally. Teaching is a popular option if you want to make direct use of the subject knowledge. Other career opportunities include jobs in the recording industry, work in cultural management and administration, in the media and entertainment, or in libraries and archives, to mention a few. In addition, a degree in music is sometimes considered as an asset by employers seeking formal certification of professional training in creativity from prospective employees.
