What do students and professors say?
The best thing about studying to be a teacher at the Berlin University of the Arts is the people and the nice atmosphere among the students.
Study music teacher training at the most largest art university in Europe and still in a family atmosphere. That's what the Berlin University of the Arts offers.
The Music Teaching Programme is remarkably diverse. It combines artistic, pedagogical and scientific subjects uniquely.
A passion for music and the joy of teaching - these are the two most important qualities for future music teachers. If you have these qualities, the Music Teaching Programme at the Berlin University of the Arts is the right place for you.
What I like about the Teacher Training Programme at the Berlin University of the Arts is its broad range and versatility. I'm also pleased that artistic-practical education is emphasised here. Especially in the jazz-rock-pop department, making music together is supported and valued. In addition to the opportunities to learn and try things out also contribute to a pleasant social climate between students and lecturers!
