Educational objectives.

Prepared for a diverse professional environment. 
The Bachelor of Arts in Music covers a broad stylistic and practical music field. The different majors offer a wide range of instrumental and vocal training: conducting, choral conducting, jazz, pop, school music, creation, music technology and composition for film, theatre and media. The degree programmes contextualize your specialized interests in interdisciplinary lecture formats. The freedom to choose and self-manage your project work allows you to expand your horizons and develop your musical profile.

Prepared for a quality education.
Study with the best: Due to the limited number of places available, you will have to pass a careful selection process and an aptitude examination. Taking into account your prior education, your programme will be structured to develop your artistic, intellectual, explorative and social potential for independence and the initial stage of professionalism. The individual support, particular emphasis on general musical education and wide range of courses support the continual, dynamic development of your interests for your future professional development. 

Prepared to undertake research.
The large number of lecturers in the research institutes guarantees that you will receive research-based tuition, in particular in theoretical music subjects. Basic research methodology is taught in all the courses. You document your general explorative perspective in the form of written and artistic project work.
