DisSertation PROJECTS

The doctoral program at the Department of Composition is the highest level of study in composition and its theory in the broad context of contemporary artistic research. Doctoral students pursue individually oriented research projects, which are usually carried out in the field between compositional work and its theoretical reflection. The creative part of doctoral studies is usually the methodological key to finding more generally valid knowledge in the broad interdisciplinary context of contemporary composition. During their studies, doctoral students enter the highest echelons of the contemporary music scene, but also find themselves in a broad international discourse within their field. They are an active and motivating part of their community and potential candidates for ongoing academic generational change.
