Admission control at the program level. Applicants choose a program through the existing online process, upload the requested recordings or written material, and take part in live auditions, theory and aural-skills tests, interviews or pedagogical assessments. For academic and doctoral routes you’ll need evidence of relevant prior study and research. Applicants should check the teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before submission. 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.

Normal degree study carries no general tuition. The present application information states a semester contribution of €82; applicants should plan separately for instruments, maintenance, scores, recordings, travelling to auditions, insurance and living costs. These are institutional charges and do not cover rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or 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 by-product of the university’s subject mix and not a guarantyd placement scheme. Individual tuition, ensembles, orchestra and choir projects, jazz performance, opera cooperation, church practice, school placements, research seminars and public concerts connect study with professional work in the whole Nuremberg region. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis all help students prepare for the workplace.
