What can I expect in this study area?
Professional field for which the course qualifies
The Bachelor's degree programme in woodwinds (performance) prepares students for a future career that can be very individual. Graduates of this course typically work as a member of a professional orchestra, but also as a freelance soloist or chamber musician. This places high demands on both the artistic abilities and the personality of graduates, as well as their communication and marketing skills.
