SOME ADMISSIONS TO LIFELONG TRAINING ARE STILL OPEN: more information

Admission to Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts courses at the "Haute école de musique de Genève" (HEM) is by competitive examination. 

There is no age limit for admissions, but an assessment of potential development is a key criterion for selection. Where applicants are of equal quality, preference will be given to the youngest.

Applicants may express a preference for particular teachers, and account will be taken of this wherever possible. Classes are given in French, and students must be familiar with that language to at least Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CECR) B1 for the Bachelor and A2 for the Master (way stage or elementary) level. Successful applicants whose knowledge of French is below this minimum standard must take the French-language courses provided by the HEM.

Conditions for admission, well as the information and documents to be submitted by applicants, are specified on the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts application forms. These can be downloaded from the :
