The aim of this degree course is to give young, highly talented composers the opportunity to further develop their own compositional and artistic approaches for two full years after completing their Master’s degree, and to use this transition phase to network in the music and concert world.

In addition, this degree course also emphatically pursues the idea of creating a forum for new music, i.e. to understand the university as a place where students have the opportunity to engage with the most diverse new music offerings at a high professional level.

In the Composition degree course, this primarily involves conducting (Ensemble Conducting New Music), working in the electronic studio and collaborating with the Instrumental class of the New Music Master’s degree. The concert examination is expressly intended to bridge the gap between university studies and concert life. Great importance is therefore attached to practical experience with corresponding performances both inside and outside the university.
