Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen (Artesis Plantijn Hogeschool Antwerpen)

he Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp aims to educate enthusiastic and talented people to become creative, professional musicians and performing artists with great autonomy and personality, able to slot into the contemporary socio-cultural and artistic frame of reference. The Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp offers opportunities for extensive artistic cross-pollination, as courses in the three performing arts, as well as teacher training, are all grouped on the International Arts Campus deSingel. The partnership with deSingel ensures a unique exchange of talent, art and knowledge that supports and fosters a strong international profile. Creativity and artistry can only exist where there is room for communication, research and awareness.

Artesis Plantijn University College has about 200 bilateral agreements with partner universities all over Europe. We offer international modules to Erasmus students of our partners and encourage teaching staff exchanges in our 4 departments and 2 schools of arts.

This academic year the university college is involved both as partner or co-ordinator in 20 international projects (Erasmus intensive programmes, Knowledge Alliances, Leonardo transfer of innovation, EU-US Atlantis, Interreg, Youth in Action, …). Students enrolled at AP can apply for a travel grant for an internship in one of the developing countries.
