Programme
Major-Minor Programme Model
In choosing a major, students choose their core subject area. They can choose one or two minors to deepen the competencies acquired in their major or to expand these competencies across disciplines. Alternatively, they can also choose open courses to form an Individual Area of Study (ISB).

Individual Area of Study
Instead of a minor, students can also choose an Individual Area of Study (ISB). Courses chosen as part of an ISB are cross-disciplinary and subject to special admissions requirements. The number of places on such courses is limited.

Lecturers
In addition to their one-to-one teaching sessions, the two Choral Conducting lecturers (Prof. Markus Utz, Ernst Buscagne) โ both of whom are also active at international level โ are also involved in team-based teaching. Their access to various international networks allows them to consistently give new impetus to the tuition. The general atmosphere is one of team spirit and close collaboration, particularly with the lecturers for โOrchestral Conducting for Choral Conductorsโ (Daniel Schmid), Score Work (Hartmut Keil), or Voice (David Thorner, Roswitha Mรผller).
