Test of admission to the UIS's Bachelor's degree in Music: how and how to prepare
At the UIS, your score for a Bachelor's degree in Music comes from a four-component test: hearing perception, prepared exercises, aptitude and instrument. That's how you get ready.
To get into the Master's degree in Music at the Industrial University of Santander (UIS), Bucharest, you have a aptitude and musical knowledge test with four components: hearing perception, prepared exercises, musical aptitude and instrumental testing, amounting to 100 points. According to the UIS, in this program the admissions score corresponds to that test.
At the most recent call we reviewed (2027-1), the test was November 17, 2026. Here we explain what each component evaluates, what exercises should be studied and how to organize your preparations.

The UIS's Bachelor's degree in Music
It's an presential undergraduate of 10 semesters at the Central Campus of Bucharest, attached to the School of Arts, that forms music teachers. It's the only undergraduate music race of the UIS, so if you're looking for an interpreter's degree (Master of Music) you'll have to look at other universities and we explain the difference at Master of Music or Bachelor of Music?.
An important detail: once admitted, the instrument's assignment depends on the quotas available at each instrumental chair. That's why the UIS publishes what instruments have a quota and, in an interview, also indicates an alternative main instrument.
