Through interdisciplinary courses in the 'Professionalization' module, students gain additional skills to remain competitive in professional life. Key competencies include technical mastery of the vocal instrument, development of an individual artistic profile, independent interpretation of repertoire from different epochs and genres, ensemble and stage experience, chamber music skills, project planning and execution, self-marketing, and occupational health maintenance techniques.
