In partnership with the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris (Cnsmdp), the Haute École de musique de Genève (HEM ), theAcadémie supérieure de musique de Strasbourg-HEAR, the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Lyon (CNSMDL) and the Pôle supérieur d'enseignement artistique Paris Boulogne-Billancourt (PSPBB). Students enrolled in a master's degree in composition at these establishments have the opportunity, after selection by a dedicated jury, to complete their first year of master's training within the Ircam curriculum.

As part of the DE programme, you must validate two DCOs, including one of your choice, which will also validate the DCO for the 2nd cycle-Master's degree.

NB: if one of the DCOs on this list forms part of your training for the DNSPM (and becomes a DCI), then it will not count as a DCO for the DE.
