Description
University of Music degree courses combine teaching and practical artistic activity to provide an education primarily geared towards artistic practice and/or pedagogy. They prepare students for a professional activity that requires the application of artistic-practical skills and pedagogical aptitude.
The universities of music provide an education that enables students to independently apply and develop academic and pedagogical methods and knowledge and to engage in artistic and practical activities. They have the right to award doctorates in musicology and music education.
Artistic training takes place, among other things
- in the instrumental and vocal field,
- in composition
- conducting,
- in church music
- singing,
- in musicals,
- in acting,
- directing and
- in dance and ballet.
The pedagogical training serves to train music teachers at general education schools with music as a subject, music teachers at music schools and freelance teachers and ballet teachers.
