The Cologne University of Music and Dance offers a four-year Bachelor's degree course and a two-year consecutive artistic Master's degree course in composition / music theory. After four semesters, students can choose between a pedagogical and an artistic profile (formerly "pedagogical composition" and "artistic composition"). The composition/music theory course offers a particularly broad-based education. It teaches artistic-practical, academic and pedagogical skills in the areas of composition, music theory and composition. In addition to classical composition theory, the course includes the acquisition of music analytical, stylistic and music historical knowledge, the methodology and didactics of the subject area, the artistic-practical use of modern notation and production software as well as the planning and realization of own productions and performance projects. The aim is a comprehensive creative and post-creative development of the aesthetic diversity of music in the past and present.
