Studying music in particular leads to the acquisition of individual skills. The focus is on developing artistic personality in all its diversity. For this reason, the degree programmes and fields of study at the MHL include a wide range of profile modules and free elective elements that can be combined individually. The MHL provides information about the options available in consultation sessions. It also offers the following assistance to prospective students and current students:

General Student Counselling

Questions about the degree programmes and courses offered by MHL will be answered in a personal consultation. Before the consultation, it is essential to take a look at the degree programmes.

Einzelberatungen

Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Arbeit des MHL-Career-Center sind Einzel- und Gruppenberatungen von Studierenden. In den Gespr?chen werden in der Regel Zukunftsoptionen analysiert, W¨¹nsche und Realit?ten abgeglichen sowie ¨¹ber die Realisierung von eigenen Projektideen gesprochen oder auch nur die Bewerbungsmappe wie z.B. der Lebenslauf mit K¨¹nstlerbiografie optimiert. F¨¹r gewisse Beratungen kann der vorausgegangene Besuch von bestimmten Musikbusinesskursen sinnvoll oder auch Voraussetzung sein. Beratungen k?nnen pers?nlich oder online nach Vereinbarung stattfinden und sind vertraulich.
