For those with sound in their blood
This bachelor's degree programme is something special, as we offer it in cooperation with the Trossingen University of Music. Two universities, two perspectives – your studies are guaranteed to be twice as interesting! We consider working with sound as part of an overall production that can be experienced by the listening viewer in a multimedia and multi-sensory way. Learn to create sound from the elements of (composed) music, speech and sound!
Programme content and structure
Music designers work closely with other artists, marketing and product acoustics experts from the fields of brand communication, product development, architecture, media installation, film, interactive applications and mobile content in the conception and implementation of this production. With this degree programme, we train you for this demanding interdisciplinary collaboration.
We're looking for creative minds with sound in their blood, who want to be different from pure music performers - both newcomers (school leavers) and career changers - cracks from the fields of music, composition, sound design, DJing, sound art, media design and scenography.

Entry requirements
What counts is musical talent – even if it is unconventional. Reading music is therefore not a mandatory requirement for the entrance examination, but you are expected to work on this as part of your studies.
In the case of special artistic talent and adequate general education, which is proven separately in a so-called talent test, applicants without a general university entrance qualification can also be admitted to the programme.
MD specifics
We require little - except talent and creativity. Knowledge of music is not essential at the beginning of the course. You can also take the degree programme without a high school diploma, and career changers without previous classical music training are also welcome.
The programme is interdisciplinary - we rely on tradition-based foundations and sound university training. Our team of lecturers also consists of interdisciplinary experts from the fields of art, technology and practice.
Our graduates have a wide range of career prospects in culture and business. You can start your career straight after completing your bachelor's degree!
What's included
Your career prospects
As a music designer, you can live out your creativity after graduation either as an employee or independently. Our graduates work in the fields of composition, audio/sound design, sound direction, media production, project management and conception. You can take on audio supervision and sound design for production companies (music, video, computer applications/games, advertising) or work for agencies (advertising, commercial film, web, event agencies), as well as for radio/TV stations and music schools.
And if you haven't had enough of studying, a master's degree is also a good option! Just as an idea, here are the master's degree programmes offered by our Faculty of Digital Media: Computer Science in Media Master and Interactive Media Design Master.
