Welcome to the University of Music and Theatre Munich! The first step has been taken – you have received your letter of admission. Congratulations!
Before you can start your studies, you must enrol at our university. We have compiled all the necessary information for you here.
Exceptions apply to new students at our Ballet Academy and in the cooperative degree courses with the Theaterakademie August Everding. Please refer to the respective website for more information:
Enrolment is carried out via the online application portal. Once you have accepted your place of study, you must pay the relevant semester fee and upload all the documents required for enrolment.
Enrolment must be completed in person at the university (Arcisstr. 12).
Please come to Room A 217 during one of the following time slots:
There you will receive your login details, your student ID card and other important documents. Please note that you can only enrol in person once you have paid the semester fee (see below) and provided proof of health insurance (see below).
Important information for students of Teacher Training courses:
Please note that students on Teacher Training courses must additionally enrol at the LMU for »Erziehungswissenschaften« (Education Studies).
To study at the University of Music and Theatre Munich, you must pay a semester fee or tuition fees. The amount depends on your course of study.
The fee for the 2026/27 winter semester is:
Once you have accepted your place via the online application portal, you will be prompted to pay the amount due via e-Payment.
Please note:
If you are enrolling in two different courses of study at HMTM for the 2026/27 winter semester, or if you are already enrolled in another course of study at HMTM, please send an email to leitung.studium@hmtm.de
Enrolment is carried out via the online application portal. There you will find a list of the documents to be submitted.
Please also note that we must receive electronic proof of sufficient health insurance coverage for successful enrolment. Please read more about this in the next menu item.
Please upload the following completed and signed documents to the application portal:
• Enrolment Application
• Consent of Legal Guardian (for underage students)
• Declaration »Granting of Rights of Use«
• Declaration of Awareness of the »Guidelines against the abuse of power, discrimination, sexual harassment and violence at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich«
All students must prove to the university that they have sufficient health insurance cover when they enrol.
The proof must be submitted to us as a digital report from a German statutory health insurance company (electronic reporting procedure). Unfortunately, the presentation of an insurance card or a certificate from a private health insurance company is not sufficient for enrolment.
The procedure for digital registration works like this:
You are…
a) legally insured in Germany?
Please request a digital report on your insurance status from your health insurance company by 16 September at the latest (electronic reporting procedure). Please explicitly state that you wish to enrol at the University for Music and Theatre Munich.
b) privately insured in Germany?
Please contact a statutory health insurance company of your choice with a confirmation from your private health insurance company and ask them to digitally notify the university of your exemption from compulsory German student insurance by 16 September at the latest (electronic notification procedure). When doing so, please explicitly state that you wish to enrol at the University for Music and Theatre Munich.
c) insured in a country of the European Union?
Please contact a statutory health insurance company of your choice in Germany with a confirmation from your health insurance fund and ask them to digitally report your exemption from compulsory German student insurance (electronic reporting procedure) by 16 September at the latest. When doing so, please explicitly state that you wish to enrol at the University for Music and Theatre Munich.
d) insured outside Europe?
Please contact a German statutory health insurance company to take out health insurance or to be exempted from compulsory student insurance if you have private health insurance that is valid for studying in Germany.
In both cases, a German statutory health insurance company must notify the University for Music and Theatre Munich of your insured status electronically. Without an electronic notification from a German statutory health insurance company even before your enrolment, enrolment is not possible.
Once you have successfully enrolled in person, you will be able to download enrolment certificates yourself via the eOffice student portal from 1 October 2026.
We welcome our new students to our university with the opening ceremony.
The ceremony will take place on
Monday, 12 October 2026, 11.00 am
Großer Konzertsaal, Arcisstraße 12, 80333 Munich, Germany
If you have any further questions about enrolment, our team at the Registrar‘s Office will be happy to advise you (see below).
This also applies to questions about re-registration, for example after an interruption in your studies, or about starting your studies at a later date.
