About

The department of composition is closely linked to the performance practice of New Music through close cooperation with the Institute for New Music and the international master's program in New Music.

In the area of music theory, the department offers, in addition to the professionalization in music theory provided for in all music degree programs, the possibility of in-depth study and specialization in the bachelor's and master's programs in music theory as well as in the focus on music theory/aural training in the IGP program (acquisition of the supplementary teaching qualification in music theory/aural training for Austrian music schools).
