The state-approved University of Art, Design and Popular Music was created in 2011 through the merger of the Freie Hochschule für Grafik-Design & Bildende Kunst Freiburg (FHF) and the training courses of the Jazz & Rock Schulen Freiburg, and the International Music College Freiburg (IMCF).
hKDM Freiburg offers five interlinked bachelor’s degree courses: Visual Arts B.A., Integrated Design B.A., Popular Music B.A., International Program in Popular Music B.A. (Taught in English), Information Technology for Audiovisual Media B.A.
Due to the increasing links between the various media, the new university combines a number of disciplines under one roof – design, photography, gaming, sound, song-writing, painting, illustration etc. This interdisciplinary approach and cross-subject creativity transfer in teaching, research and elective projects provides our graduates with the perfect preparation for a constantly changing career in our fast-moving, globalised world.
Each lasting four years, the independent courses are based on practice, teach solid, subject-specific skills, and deliberately provide space for students to develop their own creativity. Experienced professors and lecturers from Germany and abroad provide students with personal support and prepare them for a successful professional life.
Cooperation with the media industry, galleries, art traders, artists and the entire music industry means teaching staff and students alike have their fingers on the pulse. Teaching content is constantly being developed and adapted to the needs of the job market. This dynamic process ensures the success of our graduates in their later professional careers.

The hKDM may be “new”, but it can, in fact, draw on 25 years of experience. Hundreds of students passed through the halls of the two previous institutions and successfully completed their training as professional musicians, designers and artists.
Our alumni work in leading positions in international advertising agencies and companies, as renowned artists, and as successful musicians, some in internationally famous bands.
