Conducting programs often involve score study, music history, technique and theory courses. Whether students choose to focus on an instrumental or choral repertoire, their coursework teaches them how to form and lead ensembles.
Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
