We strive to allow our students to define and develop their artistry. Through the experience and knowledge of teachers and other staff in close dialogue with the professional field, a healthy learning environment and contexts are created for work on opera singing and musical drama that stimulates students and gives them keys to future practical work in the field.
We want to be a clear hub for the development of opera as an art form. Within the framework of Uniarts, the University College of Opera helps create a leading international research environment. The plan is that research and artistic development work will, in the future, constitute a vital element in the work of the University College of Opera and will permeate the college's first-cycle study programs. The college has about 20 teachers, 40 students, and three doctoral students. The University College of Opera offers study programs for singers at first-cycle and second-cycle levels. The premises of the University College of Opera were specially designed to meet the needs of the activities in terms of acoustics, humidity, sound insulation, and stage acting. The premises include the college's studio theatre, two-stage rehearsal rooms, a dance studio, and several studies and practice rooms.
