Bearbeitet admission and requirements

Beitrag von Jumana Labib »

Hello Forum Team,
I am interested in applying to either musicology (systematic and or historical), Media and communcation studies or English and american studies.
I have a few questions; Is there any audition/aptitude test or proof of instrumental musical skills that is required for systematic and historical musicology BA?
Also, im an international student with A levels HZB, and do the following A levels qualify me for the programs i mentioned; Biology, Business, Psychology and Arabic? i have checked the anabin database and daad website and contacted them, however i have a sense of confusion and need your confirmation.

Also, id like to know more about the occupational and job aspects of a degree in musicology in germany, as many people claim its very hard to have financial security and stable income in the german music industry. Especially with a musicology degree.. what am i going to do with it?

Also, i need advice in terms of which subject combinations are most suitable with historical/ systematic musicology as a major

Thanks in advance,
jumana

Dear Jumana,

Since you are requesting in English language, I would like to make clear in advance that all bachelor's programs at Uni Hamburg are taught in German language. At the latest at time of enrollment, all admitted applicants have to submit proof of sufficient German language skills. see also under https://www.uni-hamburg.de/en/campuscen ... nisse.html

In order to apply to the Uni Hamburg, you must have obtained your university entrance qualification by July 15th at the latest. (please verify here at time of application:https://www.uni-hamburg.de/en/campuscen ... rmine.html)

Your higher education entrance egilibility has to be checked in a "preliminary documentation" procedure (VPD) by uni-assist (University Application Service for International Students). uni-assist reviews your international certificates and notifies you whether your previous educational qualifications permit you to start studying in Germany or are recognized for your program of choice. The VPD has to be submitted when enrolling, the converted German note has already to be entered when applying.

Detailed information about recognition of foreign educational qualifications can be found here:
https://www.uni-hamburg.de/en/campuscen ... ldung.html

You can check in a first step your school certificate through Anabin Datenbank https://anabin.kmk.org/no_cache/filter/ ... uirements/

Detailed information about application for international prospective students can be found here:
https://www.uni-hamburg.de/en/campuscen ... hluss.html

There are not any special admission requirements for the programs you want to apply for.
https://www.uni-hamburg.de/en/campuscen ... ungen.html

For the program Anglistik/ Amerikanistik "are expected a good working knowledge of the English language because the students are required to use English continually through all facets of their studies. They need a good command of the language to listen to and understand lectures on literature, linguistics and culture in English, to read and respond to literary, linguistic and cultural texts in English, to actively participate in discussions in seminars or language classes which address topics in literature, linguistics or British and American culture in English and to write essays, summaries, papers and exams in correct academic English." https://www.slm.uni-hamburg.de/iaa/stud ... ungen.html

In order to gain more clarity about the professional perspectives and also about the possible combinations with (for you suitable) minor subject, it is the best to get in touch with the relevant academic study office.

Contact: https://www.uni-hamburg.de/en/campuscen ... ueros.html


Best regards,

Dear Jumana,

The bachelor program "Anglistik/Amerikanistik" offered by Universität Hamburg does not require a proof of English language proficiency.
