The high specialization Courses of the International Academy of Music of Perugia are open to Italian and foreign citizens and are divided in annual and three-year. Pupils can be distinguished in permanent and auditors. To enter the courses pupils will have to sit for an entrance examination, after which the teacher will finally judge if to accept or not the pupil to the attendance of a three-year course or of a free annual course. The unsuccessful candidates will be allowed to attend the courses as Auditors. The number of the permanent pupils is limited and can change depending on the courses. The applications ( with a passport-size photo attached ) will have to arrive together with the enrolment fee (associative), to be paid through bank cheque or postal order made out to the International Academy of Music.

The settlement will have to be made within and no later than the 6th meeting also if the pupil hadn't attended lessons. The pupils are obliged to enquire about the dates and times of the lessons, the International Academy of the Music doesn't take the responsibility for this at all. The foreign pupils will be obliged to pay at the beginning of the course at least half of the attendance fee and to divide into instalments the remaining amount. The meetings will take place preferably on Saturday and Sunday (but also on other days ) depending on the teachers' and halls' availability, from March to December except for the summer months.

At the end of every academic year ( on demand) the pupils of the annual courses will get a Certificate of Attendance while the pupils of the three-year courses will have to sit for an exam to pass to the following year. At the end of the three years the pupils considered qualified will be admitted to sit for the final exam of the course, as per programme due separately, to get the High Specialization Diploma in the subject studied. In the passing and diploma exams a minimum mark of 8/10 is necessary.

The final exams could take place as public concerts. For the admission to the final exam also the lessons attended in all during the three years will be considered, that will not have to be less than 75% of the ones held by the teachers ( except for illnesses or other obstacles, in any case proved).
