University of Music and Drama

With around 1400 students, the Hamburg University of Music and Drama is one of the largest artistic universities in Germany and offers artistic and academic training in all areas of music and theater.

Under the motto "Artistic excellence in social responsibility", the university is in a permanent process of creative reinvention and courageous further development. It is the aim of the university to critically and productively relate both aspects to each other in all its fields of work. Reflection on artistic processes is an indispensable prerequisite for this reciprocal relationship between art and society, between excellence and responsibility.
