1. The Massotti Higher Conservatory

Established in 1918, the Massotti Higher Conservatory is one of the oldest and most relevant Spanish musical teaching institutions. Since then, more than 45.000 students have passed through its classrooms, many of whom have developed a successful professional career as soloists and chamber musicians, and in Spanish and European orchestras and teaching institutions.

The Massotti is a public institution, supported by the Government of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, which offers first cycle studies (Bachelor) in Composition, Conducting, Performing, Musicology and Music Education.

The Massotti joined the Erasmus program in 2003, and was fully integrated into the European Higher Education Area in 2010, when its curricula were adapted to the requirements of the so-called «Bologna process».

At present, the Conservatory holds the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education 2014-2020. This Charter, and the Massotti’s Erasmus+ Policy Statement, can be downloaded from the left column of this page.

See here the highlights of the Massotti’s history (in Spanish).

2. Partner institutions

  • Student’s application form with photo.

4. The Massotti’s study plan

At present, the Massotti Higher Conservatory offers first cycle studies (Bachelor) only. The studies last four years, with 60 ECTS credits each.

The study plan is organised in five main fields:

  • Composition,
  • Conducting (Choir or Orchestra),
  • Music Education,
  • Musicology, and
  • Performing (instruments and Singing).

See here the chart of subjects for each of the options of study.

5. Teaching language

Incoming students are expected to have a proper level of Spanish, especially if they have to attend theoretical subjects. Most of our teachers can speak English, and there is no problem to use this language in performing classes (individual lessons, chamber music, choir,…), but this option is quite unlikely in theoretical group lessons.

6. Academic calendar

The Massotti Higher Conservatory academic year comprises 36 weeks, and is divided into two terms of 18 weeks each: 15 for lessons and 3 for exams (Christmas and Easter holidays -2 weeks each- are not counted here).

The first term runs from the third or fourth week of September to the first half of February. The second one covers from the second half of February to June 30.

7. Health and insurances

Incoming students are expected to have a proper insurance covering common illness and accidents while living in Spain. See here information on the European Health Insurance Card, and ask your country’s Health Authority.

A third party liability insurance and an insurance covering repatriation expenses are also recommended.

The request must be submitted to the Office for Foreigners in Murcia (Oficina de Extranjería en Murcia; see location here), within three months from the date of your entry into Spain.

Applying for registration is easy:

  • First, you must ask for an appointment (you can do it here; page in Spanish).
  • You will need:
    • Your passport or identity card (valid and in force), with a copy. If the document is expired, a copy of it and a copy of the request for renewal must be provided.
    • Accreditation of your status as an «Erasmus+ student» (the Massotti’s Erasmus+ Coordinator will provide you with it).
    • Application form EX18 (document in Spanish). When filled, print two copies.
  • To pay a fee, prior to the issuing of the certificate (12,00 €, as to July 2019). Find the payment document here (document in Spanish; click on «Certificado de registro de residente comunitario o Tarjeta de residencia de familiar de un ciudadano de la Unión«).

Ask the Massotti’s Erasmus+ Coordinator for assistance if you need some help to fill in the documents in Spanish or anything else.

The Office for Foreigners will immediately provide you with a certificate of registration bearing your name, nacionality, address in Murcia, a foreigner identification number (NIE), and the date of registration.
