In the beginning of the programme teaching will be class-based – typically involving the ST students from the same year of study. Later on in the programme, there will be more focus on individual study activities, e.g. in the form of individual productions and studies abroad.

The teaching is organized as a combination of scheduled classes, courses, camps, project weeks etc. In the course of the programme, the ST students will also participate in various self-organized productions in collaboration with students from RMC’s other programmes.

Full-time study

The Bachelor in Music Production is a full-time study programme. Attendance to the teaching is compulsory, and in addition to this you will be expected to participate in various evening and weekend activities in connection with concerts, studio productions etc.  Thus, you will not be able to have extensive work activities or pursue your own career parallel with your studies.

The primary language of instruction is Danish. In connection with foreign guest teachers or study trips, however, the teaching will typically be conducted English.
