Colleges of Art and Music

This type of institutions enjoy a similar status to that of Universities and offer studies within the fields of music, visual arts (film, television and media), fine arts, creative arts as well as performing arts. It is also possible that these subjects are also offered by specific departments and faculties of Universities.
