The prerequisite for studying at the HfMT HH is successful participation in the artistic and academic entrance examination for the desired course of study.
The entrance examination is taken for the chosen main subject. In the musical subjects, it is also taken for the subsidiary subjects of music theory, aural training and piano. Below you will find further details on the entrance examination.
Video Upload
Some degree programs require the submission of a video; you can find information on this on the respective entrance examination page of the degree program.
Passed entrance examination
A passing score on the entrance exam is valid for a limited period of four semesters.
Admission is granted to those who
- demonstrate artistic and academic aptitude in an entrance exam
- and a qualification for university admission (i.e., the General University Entrance Qualification, such as the Abitur, or a prior education recognized as equivalent)
.
After passing the entrance exam, you may reapply no later than during the entrance exam process for the winter semester of the following year. In the online application, you must provide the relevant information and upload the rejection notice from the previous year. Therefore, be sure to keep the notice in a safe place.
A prerequisite for reapplying with a previous entrance exam result is that the applicant must not have been permitted to begin any other degree program in the meantime.
The entrance exam for the Acting/BA program is valid only for the semester you are currently applying for. It is not possible to apply using a previous entrance exam result in this case.
If the university entrance qualification was not obtained in Germany or in a German-speaking country, proof of German language proficiency is an additional requirement. This does not apply to applications for degree programs taught in English.
Outstanding Artistic Ability
In cases of outstanding artistic ability, the requirement for proof of a university entrance qualification (HZB) may be waived. Outstanding artistic ability is determined by the admissions committee as part of the major subject examination. Outstanding artistic ability is deemed to exist if the major subject examination is graded at least “1.5” or 23 points. If the major subject examination is not graded using a differentiated grading scale or points, the admissions committee for the major subject will determine whether outstanding artistic ability is present.
In cases of exceptional artistic ability, proof of a secondary school diploma or prior education recognized as equivalent by the competent authority must be provided in all cases.
This does not apply to the subjects of Music and Drama within a teacher training program; in these cases, the HZB is required in addition to the entrance examination. Proof of the HZB must be provided no later than the time of enrollment at the HfMT HH and the UHH upon admission.
Additional admission requirements and entrance exam requirements are specified in the study regulations for the individual degree programs.
