Guest student programme
KMH Guest Student Programme is a one-year programme, 60 ECTS, on advanced level open for international applicants already holding a bachelor in music. Students in the guest student programme follow mainly the same courses included in one year of a regular degree programme of their specialization. Some individual adaption may be possible as for example with elective courses. The guest student programme does not lead to a degree but a certificate of studies including passed courses are awarded after completed studies.
Actual students at or former students graduated no longer than a year ago from a Music Academy / Conservatory / College /Musikhochschule abroad at the same level as KMH (higher education institution, i.e. university level) not participating in an exchange programme may apply to KMH guest student programme for a maximum of one academic year.
