Bachelor's Programme Composition and Music Theory

One of the most fascinating and yet mysterious human activities: COMPOSITION, the creation of a contemporary musical piece of art, constantly connected to the question what music actually is.
For that, the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz offers a broad education, accompanied by aesthetic and social reflection of the highest level and wonderful music practical opportunities (concerts, cooperations with PPCM, projects etc.).
MUSIC THEORY is described as the interface between music theoretical reflection, historical systematic academic research and artistic practice. The centre of the programme are studies of historical styles, musical structures in performance practice, interpretation and auditory practice, basics for independent academic research and much more.
