Completion of personal projects proposed by the department or on the student's own initiative. (Projects validated by the committee organised at the end of the 2nd year).

To carry out the projects (whether proposed by the student or not), the student will be supervised́ by a referee teacher and a professional tutor, a tutor validated by the Formation supérieure aux métiers du son teaching team and on the student's proposal.

A report on the completion of the projects is drawn up every six months by the referee teacher and the student.

Throughout the 3rd and 4th year, students must participate in and commit to collaborative projects within the Conservatoire and in partnerships with outside organisations. The department commits students to these projects, taking into account their choice of professional specialisation and their skills.

At the end of their studies, students will put together a set of personal musical productions, and will have to present and illustrate their experience and personal achievements in a certificate. They will present 5 finished musical productions. (At least one production will be in multichannel;

Otherwise, audio formats and media will be free but standardised).

Students must present :

- 3 projects validated at the end of the 2nd year for the continuation of their course.

- 2 projects with different aesthetic or professional approaches. (In this case, they must have been responsible for at least the sound recording, post-production and mastering and/or the creation, arrangement and orchestration of the pieces presented).

Each production must be at least 3 minutes long and reflect work and commitment consistent with the ambitions and expectations of the course.

FSMS 3-4

Validation of the programme based on attendance and commitment to projects.

(Validation by the Development Committee at the end of years 3 and 4).

Then :

Final certificate: "Production projects / Research projects".

(joint certificate with the "research project" study path)

During this certificate, in addition to presenting their research project, students will present their 5 productions.

The professional jury will judge the overall interest of the project. It will judge

- the artistic quality

- the quality of the aesthetic choices made

- sound quality

- the originality of the project

- personal commitment

- consistency with current broadcasting expectations and standards.

The jury will be made up of 2 researchers or scientists who are specialists and experts in the research subjects presented, 2 professionals recognised for their skills and representative of the different styles and aesthetics of today's musical production, and a jury chairman representing the Conservatoire.

The candidate has 2 hours with the jury: the first hour is devoted to the research project, the second to the productions. The productions (or a selection of extracts) will be listened to in the presence of the jury for 20 minutes, after which the candidate will have 20 minutes to present them (context, project, technical resources, organisation, choices, etc.). The candidate will then be available to the jury to answer any questions.
