Alternative activities for educational workshops
Students enrolled in the Master's degree in Music, Cultures, Media, Performance (MCMP) must obtain, in addition to the 6 credits required for the internship, an additional 6 credits, which can be earned not only by enrolling in one of the workshops provided by the degree programme, but also by participating in activities as an alternative to workshops, including seminars.
Starting from the academic year 2025–2026, under the label 'seminar', short in-depth modules (20 hours) have been introduced, allowing students to explore more thoroughly certain topics covered during the courses. Seminar-based teachings are highly interactive and require students to have prior knowledge of the bibliographical references provided by the lecturer. At the end of the seminar, all participants will produce an original project (a paper or other types of productions, such as a podcast, a video-essay, etc.), which will reflect the topics discussed during the seminar.
