Each student proposes a track in two of the partner schools at the time of enrolment, adapted to their profile and area of research. This proposed track will be discussed with the jury during the intake interviews and will be proposed to admitted candidates by the InMICS Pedagogical Committee upon announcement of the results.

The curriculum consists of:

• The main subject
  The main subject is a subcomponent of what we consider to be composition for screen, presented from the field of specialization and specific characteristics of each institute.)
• A secondary subject
• Two associated disciplines
• Four cultural and theoretical subjects taught to all students through e-learning or videoconference (one subject per semester)
• Two complementary subjects to be chosen from a list proposed by each institution (one subject per semester)

The programme will be taught primarily in English, but some complementary courses may be offered in the local language (French at CNSMD Lyon and UdeM; Italian at Conservatorio GB Martini Bologna).

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.

The research project will be organised as follows:

• Each student defines the theme of their research project, and choses a referent teacher in one of the two chosen institutions at the beginning of the programme to follow up on this activity. A co-tutor can be chosen in the second institution.
• Each student follows a Methodology course delivered by one teacher to all students through e-learning or videoconference during the first year.
• Each student submits their thesis by April of the second year of the program. The thesis is presented to an international jury at the end of the year.

Some subjects (cultural and theoretical subjects and research methodology) are taught through e-learning or videoconference to all the students by specialists selected by the four institutions.

All students meet on several occasions throughout the two-year programme for collective workshops hosted by professional partners, supervised by the InMICS Pedagogical Committee. Within the frame of these workshops, specific seminars and masterclasses are organised to develop the professional and entrepreneurial skills of the students.

In addition, each student must undertake an internship in the field of composition for screen.
