Inside musicube academy
The teaser reflects what musicube academy stands for: creative energy, musical development and the connection between composition, production and storytelling. It gives you a first impression of the world you will work in with us – with your own musical ideas, professional workflows, personal feedback and the goal of preparing your next step towards study or creative practice.
Programme Structure Overview
We combine a clear didactic structure with plenty of room for your artistic development. Every topic is built step by step: analyse, understand, implement – from the first sketch to the finished production. This is how you confidently translate your creative potential into a professional portfolio.
We integrate composition and production. Across styles, you learn to compose, produce and finish your music from the first sketch to the broadcast-ready mix.
Because artistic development is individual, we work in small groups. You receive personal feedback from lecturers who are active in the industry.
Your work goes beyond the classroom. Through real briefings and collaborations with students from the ifs, KHM or LMU Los Angeles, you build your own professional network during your studies.
Study worldwide online or directly at our campus in Bonn. Both formats fully integrate you. Ideal for flexibly combining studies with your own projects or jobs.

Frequently asked questions about our Bachelor’s programme
Yes. To be admitted to the Bachelor program, you need to pass the entrance examination and usually have a higher education entrance qualification (Abitur or equivalent). If you do not have this qualification, you may still be admitted based on your aptitude exam. A solid musical foundation is required, and during the admission process we carefully assess whether your skills and goals match the program. If they are not yet at the required level, we recommend first joining our preparatory program “Film Scoring and Production” so you can systematically develop the necessary skills. This is how we ensure that all students reach a professional standard that is competitive in the field.
This program qualifies you as a composer for film, games, and media and leads to a state-recognised university degree. You will work on real-world projects with film schools, game studios, and other media partners. In this way, you build a professional network, gain practical experience during your studies, and prepare yourself optimally for your future career.
The Bachelor program covers three musical focus areas: film music, game music, and pop music. Composition and production are treated equally, with an interdisciplinary, cross-genre approach that allows you to develop a broad and versatile skill set.
Each study year includes a major practical project, such as working with a chamber music ensemble, a band, a choir, or producing orchestral recordings with a symphony orchestra. These projects connect theory with practice and offer valuable insights into real-world production workflows.
You will benefit from our network of renowned institutions such as the International Film School Cologne (IFS), Aachen University of Applied Sciences, and Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Los Angeles. These connections open the door to exciting collaborative projects and valuable career opportunities.
