Master's degree in teaching music for grammar schools and comprehensive schools (single-subject course)

If you are looking for a longer-term career as a music teacher at a school after completing a Bachelor of Music, you may be interested in the Master of Education Teacher Training in Music for Grammar Schools and Comprehensive Schools (single-subject course). After an aptitude test specially adapted for this target group and proof of music education work in groups in general education schools or comparable teaching experience of 300 hours and at least one year, you will have the opportunity to obtain a regular degree for music as a teaching subject in the schools of the secondary level mentioned. The course starts in the winter semester 2023/24 and applications for the aptitude test can be submitted until March 1, 2023.

This Master's degree is intended to help make access to the music teaching profession more flexible and to promote later entry, especially for those who already work or have worked in schools (e.g. as substitute teachers). The program was developed in cooperation with the University of Cologne and will focus on different areas depending on the previous studies. The aim is to guarantee a quality of education comparable to that of regular teacher training courses.
