World Music

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

About the Program

The 6-semester Bachelor's degree programme creates a broad foundation in artistic practice and research, in teaching and self-management. The focus is on students' own artistic work in cross-traditional, cross-genre and cross-disciplinary contexts: as artistic-aesthetic-creative as well as performative sound design - explicitly including analogue, digital, intermodal and installative sound practices. With a focus on trans-traditional creative musicking, the programme fosters deep musical understanding, technical virtuosity, and expressiveness, enabling students to develop into highly professional musicians and pursue successful careers. In all complementary subjects (history, music theory, aesthetics, aural training, instrumental studies, etc.), a culturally differentiated historical-critical global perspective is taught, in which different sound and music traditions and cultures are aesthetically equivalent and relevant.
