Music Publishing (Master)

This page contains automatically translated content.

This degree program is unique in Germany. Here, the subject of musicology is combined with specialization for a job in music publishing. Depending on the focus, students deal with the following questions, among others: What do I need for the production of music editions and their marketing? How does the administration of music licenses for popular music work?
However, this practically oriented master's degree also provides an excellent foundation for a career in research if topics such as music market research and copyright law interest you.
