Practical examinations (FP) are primarily held at the end of a semester. Registration for the individual parts of the examination should be made directly with the course co-ordinator in the courses set up for this purpose. For instrumental and vocal examinations in the Master’s programmes, please register directly with the vocal and instrumental teachers and artistic staff, as these examinations are conducted by two examiners. All other practical module examinations are supervised by individual examiners, who are usually also the course leaders.

For advice on matters relating to the organisation of examinations and the content of the partial examinations, please contact Stephan Schomaker ()
