Short Description
The subject music is offered as one of two subjects within the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s Degree Programme. Please note the subject combination options.
Quality, diversity and liveliness characterize this study programme of the University of Music, Drama and Media Hanover, which is offered in cooperation with the Leibniz Universität Hannover. With the first subject music the programme aimes primarily at future school musicians who, depending on their individual preferences, can choose the discipline "Classical Music" or "Jazz Rock Pop".
The Interdisciplinary bachelor's Programme (FüBa) qualifies for a transition to the master's programme for teaching at grammar schools or a purely scientific master's programme, but also prepares directly for demanding professional activities through its comprehensive qualifications and practical relevance.
Unlike to most other training locations, the standard period of study in this programme is not six, but eight semesters, which benefits the artistic and scientific breadth and depth of education.

Areas of Focus
- Acquisition of musicological and music pedagogical / music communicative competencies
- Big Band
- Chorus u. Orchestra phase
- Ensemble line
- instrument
- music theory
- percussion
- rhythm
- singing
The programme covers two subjects (major and minor) and the professionalization area, in which comprehensive qualifications (pedagogy, psychology and key competences) are taught.
The first year of study is exclusively completed at the HMTMH, only in the second year begins the study of the second subject at the Leibniz University or the HMTMH with the minor subject Media Management.
As part of the interdisciplinary bachelor's degree programme, students with a focus on teaching have to complete a non-school-based internship as well as a school internship, both lasting four weeks. The non-school-based internship helps students to get first work insights in the area of teaching, to check on their career aspiration. For students with an non-school-based focus, an eight-week non-school-based internship must be completed.
The degree programme aims at those interested in arts, science and pedagogics who are preparing for a broad subject area of music education, especially in the field of traditional school music.
Depending on the future professional goal (freelance or teacher career), individual priorities are set in the course of the study, leading to the deepening of certain vocational skills. The "Bachelor of Arts" is also a prerequisite for admission to master's programmes. Here, above all, the two-year master's programme "Teacher training for grammar schools" of the HMTMH is highly attractive, because the need for qualified school musicians is currently very high.
