The Institute of Music offers three degree programmes leading to a Master of Education degree:

• Teaching degree for special schools with 30 credit points (CP) and a standard period of study of 4 semesters
• Teaching degree programme for grammar schools with 30 credit points and a standard period of study of 4 semesters.
• Teacher training programme for primary, secondary and intermediate schools with 9 CP and a standard period of study of 4 semesters (GHR300)

The Master of Education builds on the polyvalent Bachelor's degree programme in Music and concludes it with a professional qualification. The Master of Education is supplemented in its three study variants by a second subject and the area of specialisation.

A special feature of the music degree programme is the continuous individual tuition in a major and minor instrument or singing. In addition to courses in media and group music practice and music theatre projects, the individual lessons contribute to the special profile of an artistic-academic course of study that corresponds to school music studies at German music universities. Depending on the standard period of study, the Master's programme is supplemented by school-specific didactics and musicology.

From winter semester 14/15, the innovative new degree programme "GHR300" was introduced for primary and secondary school students.
The programme now lasts four semesters with 300 credit points (previously two semesters). Students are given a strong link between theory and practice by preparing, accompanying and following up on an 18-week school internship (practical block) at the university.

Occupational fields

The Master of Education programme is a logical continuation of the polyvalent Bachelor's degree with regard to the academic appointment of a music teacher. The aim of the degree programme is to qualify students to teach the subject of music at general education schools after completing an additional traineeship. Specifically, this means the ability to design, implement and justify professionally sound and creative lessons based on the interests of the pupils and the diversity of contemporary musical life.
