Studies

The HEM offers a wide range of training that enables students to acquire professional skills in all areas of musical activity: basic and advanced teaching, performance, composition, and choral and orchestral conducting.

As part of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO), it awards university-level qualifications at two levels (Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts) as well as lifelong training qualifications (Certificate of Advanced Studies and Diploma of Advanced Studies). Its courses are officially accredited and its qualifications enjoy wide international recognition.

The HEM has close links with many partner institutions in Geneva, Switzerland, Europe and other parts of the world, working with them on joint curriculums, practicums, artistic productions and student or teacher exchanges.
