Osim što stiču sposobnost za samostalnu umetničku aktivnost i učešće u radu ansambala studenti imaju kompetencije za muzičko-pedagoški rad u muzičkim školama i rad u institucijama kulture. Nastava na predmetima je individualna (glavni predmet – Džez pevanje/ Džez truba/ Džez trombon/ Džez bubanj/ Džez klavir/ Džez gitara/ Džez saksofon/ Džez kontrabas) i grupna (Džez solfeđo, Džez ritam, Džez harmonija, Džez aranžiranje, Pregled pravaca u istoriji džeza i ostali predmeti). Programski zahtevi glavnog predmeta precizno su postavljeni, ali se individualni program slobodno formira u skladu sa sposobnostima svakog studenta. Postupnost u rastu programskih zahteva omogućava kontinuirani razvoj intrepretativno-tehničkih mogućnosti studenata. Ishodi učenja su sticanje veština – improvizacije, vežbanja i održavanja proba, sviranja u ansamblima, veštine umetničkog izražavanja i javnog izvođenja, razumevanje repertoara i muzičkog materijala, kao i veštine osmišljavanja i izvođenja nastave džez pevanja i džez instrumenta korišćenjem savremenih principa i metoda. Stručni naziv koji se stiče po završetku master akademskih studija na modulu Džez i popularna muzika je master muzički umetnik. Dosad su na Katedri za džez i popularnu muziku, od osnivanja 2012. godine, kao gostujući profesori bili angažovani brojni istaknuti džez umetnici svetskog renomea, među kojima su Džonatan Krasjberg, Bojan Zulfikarpašić, Mišel Hendriks, Simon Rihter, Stjepko Gut, Kristin i Ingrid Jensen i drugi.
