The Akademie offers a Bachelor of Music degree, Master of Music program, and an Artist Diploma program in all orchestral instruments, piano, and composition. The accredited, four-year undergraduate Bachelor’s degree provides the depth of intense professionally-oriented music studies alongside a broad introduction to the humanities. Beginning of the 2023-24 academic year, the Barenboim-Said Akademie will offer a Master of Music degree to support excellent musicians in achieving their maximum potential, whilst still offering a broad and more advanced education in the humanities. The post-graduate, one year Artist Diploma program prepares pre-professional musicians to embark on a performing career, combining high-level music studies with electives in the humanities. 

The Barenboim-Said Akademie also offers a Preparatory Program. This is a unique, one-year study program at the Akademie that seeks to help young musicians prepare for the musical and academic demands of a Bachelor of Music degree. Find out more
