Program level control of admission. Applicants select the specific program, proceed through the existing online pathway, submit recordings, scores, portfolios or academic evidence and fulfilll auditions, theory and aural-skills exams, interviews or pedagogical stages. Research applicants need a qualifying degree, a proposal, supervision and formal acceptance. Before submitting, applicants need to confirm the language of teaching, the entry semester, subject prerequisites, the selection process and the document pathway. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Entry to a doctorate is distinct from admission to a bachelors or masters degree and generally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the relevant faculty.

There is no general tuition for regular degree study . Students pay the current published semester contribution which includes student-services, Germany-semester-ticket, university-sports and student-body components. Instruments, scores, recordings, technology, audition travel and living costs are extra. These institutional fees are exclusive of rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs and personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.

Career preparation is a reflection of the subject mix of the university, not a guarantyd placement scheme. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and a thesis developed in cooperation with an external partner can all help to improve professional readiness.
