The Bachelor's degree course in Jazz can be taken up annually in the winter semester. The entrance examinations take place at the beginning of June each year. In order to take part in the entrance examination, a complete application must be submitted to the university by the deadline.

Anyone who can provide proof of a general higher education entrance qualification or a previous qualification recognized as equivalent by the competent authority is eligible to apply. After the entrance examination has been carried out, the entrance examination committee may decide to waive the requirement for proof of a general higher education entrance qualification if the applicant has demonstrated an artistic aptitude that is well above average. When selecting students for admission to the Bachelor of Jazz and Jazz-Related Music, the allocation of instruments will take into account that ensembles capable of playing can be formed during the course of study.

In general, most lectures and seminars are held in German. It is therefore advisable to have a good command of German in order to be able to follow the lectures.
