The Malmö Academy of Music
At the Malmö Academy of Music we have high artistic and educational ambitions, and we offer our students a creative and stimulating learning environment. The dynamic knowledge environment that prevails at the school is something we are proud of, and it provides our students with good prospects to develop into competent and self-reliant musicians and music teachers. As a student at the Malmö Academy of Music one is also a student at Lund University – Scandinavia’s largest institution for higher education and research. With the student city of Lund only 10 minutes away by train, further challenges are not far away.
The Malmö Academy of Music is open to the world around us. Our geographic location in an exciting and expansive part of the Nordic region infects our activities. The Öresund region is rich in diverse cultural offerings in music, dance, art and theatre. Much of what takes place is innovative and boundary-spanning. In the immediate area, there are symphony orchestras and opera houses and stages for jazz, rock and folk music/world music in abundance. Choir activity in Malmö and Lund is strong, with many successful choirs of high quality. This cultural diversity is enriching for a school that prepares its students to take part in this cultural milieu.
A fundamental condition of the credibility of our education lies in the competence of our teachers. Teachers at the Malmö Academy of Music have both deep and current knowledge about today’s music and musical education. Alongside their teaching activities, most are working musicians and active in the professional music and cultural scene, many with international careers as musicians and composers. We make all the effort we can so students can enjoy an abundance of the most important resource we have: time with our committed teachers. Our curricular and timetables are the ultimate guarantee that those who study with us receive abundant and qualified instruction during their time of study.
The Malmö Academy of Music has a clear international profile with a broad international network of contacts. A large number of well-reputed partner schools in Europe are available to you as an exchange student during your time at the Malmö Academy of Music. Swedish and international students will become your fellow students, and you will also meet guest lecturers and musicians from different parts of the world.
Educational programmes must be adapted to a society undergoing change. All of our degree programmes involve genuine professional education for high quality that prepares you for a professional career as a musician, church musician or music teacher. We work actively so that our students will become competitive and attractive in the job market. Our recently inaugurated centre for career contacts and professional development activities is one step to strengthen this side of our programmes.
I hope that this website will inspire you to establish further contact
with us at the Malmö Academy of Music. Detailed information on our
varied areas of activity is available to you here. You are of course
always welcome to contact us and ask questions about our educational
programmes, large number of scheduled concerts, seminars or anything
else which interests you.
