Study advice

Study advice for students at the music institute

All students on the Bachelor’s course at the music institute are counselled and supervised by two mentors. The student’s first mentor is invariably his or her main subject teacher. Six weeks after the semester starts, students on the first half of their course choose a second mentor, who will also support and advise them until the end of the fourth semester. Registrations are made using a counselling form available in the academic administration office.

All students must arrange a compulsory study consultation with their second
mentor during the 1^st and 5^th semester.

Study advice for students at the drama institute

Students at the drama institute are supervised by the mentor for their year right from the first day of their course. The mentor accompanies the students until they receive their diploma. He invariably performs his tasks in confidential cooperation with the other teachers and students in his year.

Study advice at the institute of musicology and music education

Students on the music education courses receive artistic support and advice from the teachers of their main subjects. For general questions relating to study planning, exam organisation and professional orientation, students at the institute of musicology and music education can consult the respective course lecturers, who consequently assume the role of mentors

Study contributions

No fees are charged for undergraduate courses or graduated courses until the students obtain their second professional qualifications.
The semester contribution of € 120 payable every semester to hmt Rostock finances the student welfare service, the student council and the semester ticket for local public transport.
