Applicants for the master's programme in Music, Technology and Communication must submit a letter of motivation and a digital portfolio. These documents could come in many varieties, but here are some hints in case you are unsure about what we are looking for.
The digital portfolio should show your competence in both music and technology. You should submit only a document describing the selected works with links to webpages where we can access the associated multimedia material (e.g. your website if you have one, soundcloud or similar for the music, github or similar for the technology).
Music
Could be documented by a selected number (1 to 5) of music examples.
- If you include examples that were made by multiple people you need to explain your contribution (whether you made the composition, performed, produced, etc.).
- Please also indicate briefly what instruments/software/tools you use in the examples.
Note that we will also consider other types of musical experience, such as music theory, musicology, cognition, acoustics, sound design, signal processing, and more. We are open to different kinds of documentation that may show your skills and competences.
Technology
Your technology experience could be documented with a selected number (1 to 5) of examples:
- files with small or large pieces of programming code that you have written.
- pictures / videos / text / screenshots that in some way could help us see your technological background.
It helps if you also include a short description of the examples you provide, including a description of your own contribution (for collaborative projects).
Motivation letter
A good way of showing that you are motivated for MCT is if you can explain why this fits with your background and your future career plans. We prefer short and on-topic motivation letters.
