Admission restrictions to HKB confirmed
Admission restrictions will continue to apply at Bern University of the Arts (HKB) in the 2017/2018 academic year. This has been decided by the cantonal government of Bern.
According to the Government Council's decision, a total of 300 new study places are available for the Department of Music, Theater and Other Arts, and 85 study places for the Department of Design, including Conservation-Restoration.
The HKB offers Bachelor's degree courses in classical music, jazz, music and media art as well as music and movement (rhythmics), and Master's degree courses in music performance, specialized music performance, pedagogy and composition/theory. Since 2016, a PreCollege has also been preparing students for a Bachelor's degree in music. The music program is complemented by an opera studio in the context of regular university education.
