Beginning in an Advanced Semester – Instrumental Studies

If you’ve already completed a programme of study in which you received weekly individual instruction on your instrument, it may be possible for you to begin your studies in an advanced semester.

On this, please also read the Information on Recognition of Prior Studies – Beginning in an Advanced Semester. (in German)

Regulations on Credit Recognition

Regulations on Credit Recognition (AVOs) govern standard credit recognition/transfer procedures at the mdw. These procedures include the recognition and transfer of credit for exams/coursework earned in another mdw programme of study as well as crediting exams/coursework from old mdw curricula towards new mdw curricula. Such recognition and transfer takes place automatically, meaning that there is no need to submit an application to the Director of Studies. Please note: it is sometimes necessary to activate an AVO through the Study Centre. Therefore, please contact the relevant office in good time to make sure that all marks are transferred properly.
