The Music, Production, Performance (M2P) program has several complementary objectives, aiming to develop students' artistic, scientific, and professional expertise in the field of music. First, it allows students to deepen their artistic and instrumental practice through close partnerships with conservatories (CRD d'Évry, Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood). Students can thus evolve in demanding environments that nurture their musical progress, while benefiting from a stimulating academic setting.

The program also aims to develop a solid musicological culture and a well-founded critical capacity. It encourages intellectual curiosity and offers rigorous teaching in a variety of fields: music history, analysis, aesthetics, ethnomusicology, and systematic musicology. This theoretical foundation prepares students to conduct independent research at the master's level. All programs include the writing of a master thesis focused on a novel and scientifically relevant topic. This work allows students to learn about academic research while establishing a musical specialization.

Professionalization is at the heart of the educational project. It is based on the involvement of teachers from the professional world (musicians, creators, mediators, teacher-researchers) and on a network of partnerships with dissemination, training, and research organizations. There are many career opportunities: musical performance, cultural mediation, project production, academia, and music education. As such, the program is designed to allow each student to develop a coherent and personal project in line with their artistic, academic, or professional aspirations.
