ECTS credit allocation based on the student workload needed in order to achieve expected learning outcomes.

The ECTS system is a means of promoting widespread student mobility.

ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) is a quantified means of expressing the volume of learning
based on the workload students need in order to achieve the expected outcomes of a learning proces at a specified level.

1 credit = 27,5 hours of contacthours and independent preparation hours by students.

The use of ECTS, in conjunction with outcomes-based qualifications frameworks, makes programmes and qualifications
more transparent and facilitates the recognition of qualifications. This means that ECTS among other things;
- encourages wider access to and participation in lifelong learning, by making programmes more flexible and
facilitating the recognition of prior achievement.
- facilitates student mobility within a given institution or country, from institution to institution, from country to
country, and between different educational sectors and contexts of learning.

ECTS is the credit system for higher education used in the European Higher Education Area, involving all countries#
engaged in the Bologna Process (currently 46 countries. For full list see: http://www.bologna2009benelux.org). Most
Bologna countries have adopted ECTS by law for their higher education system, and Denmark is one of them.
Furthermore ECTS is increasingly used by institutions in other continents.

Therefore it is possible to get credit for studies at The Commedia School while enrolled in other University or higher
education institutions. View the course structure diagram and the associated descriptions for more information on ECTS
and check with your university or higher education institution. The credit transfer can only take place if the receiving (and
degree-awarding) institution recognises the credits and the associated learning outcomes.

First year: 60 ECTS ( ~ classhours 30 ECTS and independent work, groupwork and performances 30 ECTS)
Second year: 60 ECTS ( ~ classhours 25 ECTS and independent work, groupwork and performances 35 ECTS)

Total: 120 ECTS

TBE C0NNEBIA SCB00L
4

The Commedia School develops the skills and confidence that will allow the graduates to develop as independent artists,
make their own opportunities and help broaden the theatre ecology.

The basis of the training is movement, the physical aspect of acting, which is often left out of traditional acting programs.
The course is grounded in the pedagogical methods of Carlo Mazzone-Clementi, Jacques Lecoq, and Moshe
Feldenkrais. Feldenkrais training, the Awareness Through Movement training, forms the foundation of the curriculum.
This training is essential to develop the intuitive awareness of the body and correct habitual distortions, to release the
voice, and set the performer in the best possible physical and mental condition to play.

From this physical base, the fundamental method of study is improvisation, a continuous study of situations where the
students can discover the world around them and themselves, where creativity is demanded at all times.

The program includes training in the styles story telling, mime, mask, clown, melodrama, buffoon, cabaret, puppets,
tragedy, personage, commedia dell arte. The students create performances in the different styles.


Key learning outcomes

The following key learning outcomes describe what the graduates from The Commedia School upon completion of the to-
year program are expected to know, understand and be able to do.

The key learning outcomes form a profile of a graduate from The Commedia School and this profile-description aims at

Regarding student mobility the learning outcomes make it easy for the receiving institution to compare qualifications and
