The Mongolian State Conservatory in Ulan Bator (MSC) and the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich (HMTM) have again obtained funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to extend their existing partnership for another two years.
Since the academic year 2020, both universities have a close cooperation – especially in the areas of Jazz and Folk Music. The presidents of both universities, Prof. Purevkhuu Tsogbadrakh (MSC) and Prof. Dr. Bernd Redmann (HMTM), have emphasised the particular value of the partnership for both institutions during their meeting on March 25th, 2022 in Munich. The meeting was also attended by Prof. Markus Bellheim, who is the Head of International Office and responsible for the exchange, as well as by three students from Mongolia.
Within the current cooperation, each academic year, three students from HMTM were able to study in Ulan Bator during the spring semester. In return, three students from MSC spend the whole academic year in Munich. Additionally, twelve short-term lectureships (three weeks) were financed during that period. The funding also supported language courses, staff travels and a student tutorial. The project is coordinated by musician and lecturer Martin Zenker who has supported this partnership since its beginning.
The exchange scheme is now extended for another two years. Funding will support bilateral student exchanges, a total of eight short-term lectureships, as well as language courses, staff travels and a student tutorial. The corresponding application from the International Office at HMTM was approved by the evaluation commission in March 2022. The DAAD grants 96,694 € for the academic years 2022/23 and 2023/24.
The DAAD supports this partnership with funds from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research through the programme “International Study and Training Partnerships (ISAP)”.
Applications for students and staff of HMTM are now open. For further information, please contact Prof. Markus Bellheim, Head of International Office (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
STIBET II – new funding by the DAAD
Since January 2021, the HMTM is funded by the DAAD programme "STIBET II - Model Projects to Promote a Welcoming Culture".
Under the title "#gis - Grundlagen für internationale Studierende", digital content for an e-learning platform will be developed and made available over the next three years. Various digital formats will be produced with which international Bachelor's students can prepare for the musicological subjects in self-study. The initial target group is students from East Asia (China, Korea and Japan). As a long term goal, however, the programme will also address the special needs of other international target groups.
In addition to music theory content, the programme also aims at addressing cultural challenges. In addition, the programme will be linked to the advisory services offered by the International Office.
In case you have any questions or suggestions, please contact the project coordinator Lilli Jordan (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

Funding commitment for student exchanges with Jerusalem
The European Commission has approved the application by the International Office of the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich (HMTM) for a grant of over 75,000 Euros for mobility projects with the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance (JAMD) (https://www.jamd.ac.il/en). The funding period begins on 1 August 2019 and extends over a period of 3 years. The main focus of this initiative will be student exchanges. The aim of the funding is to support a continuous mutual exchange between the two universities. The JAMD has been a partner university of the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich (HMTM) since 2018. Both institutions already work together intensively on various different projects.
Each semester, at least one student mobility to Israel can be supported. In return, the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich (HMTM) will host students from Israel to study in Munich. As well as this, there will also be funding opportunities for teaching and administrative staff.
The International Office is available to answer questions at any time, and asks those interested in applying for a study placement in Jerusalem to get in touch with Cindy Voigtländer (This email address is being protected from spambots.
