Applied Course

The courses in the conservatory consist of five different groups: main vocational courses, auxiliary vocational courses, culture courses, common compulsory courses and elective courses. The lessons that make up the groups are shown in the education program. All the main vocational courses of the acting program are applied courses. Apart from the Theory courses of auxiliary vocational courses (Piano Literature, Form Knowledge, Analysis, Harmony,) all auxiliary vocational courses are also carried out as practical courses. Applied Courses are conducted in the studio and/or application areas of the relevant course. (1) The main vocational courses taught in the conservatory in each academic year are considered to be complementary to the previous year and prerequisite courses related to that year's education. For this reason, the class passing system is applied, not the passing the course. (2) Students who fail any of the main vocational courses and/or more than two auxiliary vocational courses in all classes of the conservatory repeat the year. Students who repeat a grade cannot take courses from the upper class. (3) Exams, basic vocational courses, auxiliary vocational courses, culture courses and common compulsory courses, make-up courses and practice studies (rehearsals) can also be held on Saturdays. Attendance requirement in applied courses: (1) Attendance to classes and practices is mandatory. A student who does not attend more than twenty percent of the main profession courses, thirty percent of the auxiliary profession, culture and common compulsory courses will not be taken to the exam for that course. The list of those who are not entitled to take the exam due to absenteeism is announced one week before the exam period. (2) Except for the main vocational courses and applied auxiliary vocational courses, if the attendance requirement has been fulfilled in the previous semester, the attendance requirement is not sought, provided that the exam is taken.
