ABOUT US
Erasmus+
The CSMA has over 15 years of experience in Erasmus+ activities. During these years, numerous students from our center have enjoyed experiences at other European higher education institutions. Likewise, many other non-Spanish young people have chosen the CSMA for their Erasmus stay, with demand increasing year after year thanks to the prestige of our faculty and the quality of our facilities. Furthermore, Zaragoza is undoubtedly a booming city within Spain, currently being the fifth most populated city in the country. This makes it an ideal place for young foreigners eager to learn Spanish and get to know the country, with excellent transport links between major cities and optimal economic and social conditions.
To date, the CSMA has signed agreements with more than 60 higher education institutions in 20 European countries and aims to multiply this number of agreements to offer young musicians the best opportunities for their professional career development. Similarly, the teaching staff has also benefited from this program, with an increasing number of CSMA professors visiting European centers and prestigious professionals from institutions across Europe visiting us each year.
Today, the international dimension of musical training is essential, often being a direct path to more effective professional integration for young musicians. Studying abroad provides students with a likely first approach to a different academic and artistic environment, as well as crucial close contact with other languages and cultures. For this reason, the CSMA has collaboration agreements with several Higher Education centers throughout Europe, which are expanded year after year.
