Before admission to the music profile, you must take a skills test where you can try out and show your skills in the field. The skills test is structured like a lesson in music and takes place in a group together with other applicants. The skills test gives you an idea of what is expected of you within the music profile.
Once you have applied to Entréskolan's music profile, you will be called to a skills test in February. The last day for the application is February 1.
The skills test contains various elements where you as a student are scored based on how you meet the criteria. Admission is based on scores on the test and queue dates therefore do not matter. Points are assigned within the parts of the skills test that you can see below.
In order to be admitted to Entréskolan's music profile, a minimum of 2 points is required on all parts of the skills test. Maximum score for each part is 5 points.
