BAdance: FAQ about application and audition
Can I apply to the BAdance program for the winter and summer semester?
You can only apply for the BAdance program for the winter semester. Therefore, online applications can only be submitted between 15.01. and 01.04., not between 01.10. and 01.12.
Can I also apply without a high school diploma, i.e. with a vocational high school diploma or another school qualification?
Yes, you can also apply with a vocational diploma or a high school diploma. In any case, a copy of the last school report must be submitted with the application. The missing university entrance qualification can be replaced by an outstanding artistic talent (at least 19 of 25 possible points in the aptitude test) according to §54 paragraph 4 sentence 3 HHG. The artistic talent is determined in the aptitude test.
How often can I apply to the HfMDK to study dance?
You can apply for BAdance twice at our university. There was an exception due to the Corona circumstances in 2020: anyone who has applied here and failed the aptitude test will not be credited with a failed attempt.
