International
The greatest sight that exists is the world - have a look at it.
(Kurt Tucholsky)
Internationality is of particular concern to the HMT Leipzig.
In the winter semester 2016/2017, more than 1,300 students were taught at the HMT Leipzig. Two-thirds of them were from Germany while one third of the students came from abroad.
The high proportion of students from abroad reflects the international orientation of our education - internationality does not only involve the presence of international students, but means exchange and mobility.
The collaboration with many European as well as worldwide universities and music conservatories enriches the HMT and makes it a fertile, living and manifold place to study, to do research, to live and work.
Exchange programmes such as ERASMUS+ offer numerous possibilities to teachers and students to work internationally or study abroad. The great number of partner universities allows an individual response to the student's specific needs.
Furthermore, the HMT Leipzig is member of the AEC (Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen), a European cultural and pedagogical network with more than 270 members in 55 countries. International students and teachers greatly benefit from this membership, as it opens further doors to international exchange opportunities.
The contact person for international matters is Sebastian Clever. He coordinates international relations and contacts and is responsible for the organization of international partnerships within Europe. Mr. Clever supports and consults German students and teachers regarding studies abroad and is furthermore responsible for the
ERASMUS+ programme.
