InMICS is a two-year programme offering advanced international students the chance to hone their skills, share their talents and develop their own personality and projects within an international, professional environment.
InMICS was created by a partnership of European and Canadian higher art education institutes and professional organisations in the field of audiovisual creation.
Higher education institutions involved:
Professional partners involved:
This Master’s is dedicated to international students wishing to work as composers for audiovisual media in the broadest sense of the term. We welcome applications from anyone who already composes music for screen. A bachelor’s degree in music or the equivalent is required. Applicants will be assessed first and foremost on their creative abilities, coupled with profound interest in music and visual media.
The programme will be taught primarily in English, with the exception of a few courses in the language of the country of one of the four institutes. You will need a B1 level in English in order to successfully follow the InMICS courses. Additionally, if you wish to study at the University of Montréal, you will need an A2 level in French. Language levels will be assessed during the application interviews.
There is no age limit.
The study is for two years, at two of the four partner institutes. Each of the participating schools offers a specific teaching environment, and students will study and work at two of the four schools. This gives them the ideal opportunity to fulfil their personal objectives and advance their professional perspectives. Each of the four institutions offers a different teaching approach to composition for visual media, with a specific focus on the medium and professional perspectives:
Some subjects (cultural and theoritical subjects and research methodology) are taught through e-learning or visio-conference to all the students by specialists selected by the four institutions.
The InMICS Composers Lab is a European project (co-funded with support of the Creative Europe programme) that gathers three (film) music festivals from Belgium (Film Fest Gent), France (Festival International du Film d’Aubagne - Music & Cinema) and Poland (Krakow Film Music Festival). It consists in a professional training programme dedicated to InMICS students created to respond to the challenges that the new generation of composer for screen will face. During this training programme, the participating composers further develop and learn skills through masterclasses and training sessions given by international professionals and workshops with audio-visual artists at each festival. They also learn about the particular features of the international audio-visual (co-production) market and gain access to professional opportunities by participating in cross-border networking activities.
