The Only Programme of its Kind
AMADEUS International School Vienna is the only School in the European Union that offers the IB music pathway and is also the first School in Austria to introduce the IB-Career related Programme as well. There are also over 20 dedicated private music practice rooms for students. The IBCP Music Programme provides the perfect pathway for students who wish to become professional musicians or aim to study music at a university level.
What is the IBCP?
The International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) is an internationally recognised qualification that uniquely combines academic rigour and practical skills development, enabling students to pursue their passion while fulfilling essential academic requirements. It was created for students aged 16-19 who have shown a keen interest in a specific career field. The IBCP Music Programme at AMADEUS Vienna provides a well-rounded, extensive foundation for a distinguished career in music or for further education.
Developing the Complete Musician
The IBCP Music Programme is designed to provide aspiring musicians with a unique opportunity to develop their musicianship in a number of areas. Through different modules and units, students train their performative skills, learn how to compose and record music, explore a variety of musical genres from both a technical and cultural perspective, and gain insight into the organisations and job roles that operate within the music industry. In the students’ second year, they compile their portfolios and prepare for the auditions at the universities and conservatoires of their choice.
Learning Through Both Mind and Music
The IBCP Music Programme at AMADEUS Vienna stands out for its seamless incorporation of musical studies, career readiness, and personal development, all grounded in challenging and enriching academic settings for students. Students must take two courses from the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in conjunction with their career preparation and foundational music modules, including Service Learning, Language Development, and completing a Reflective Project. This professional layout not only cultivates artistic excellence but also equips students with the critical thinking, intercultural, and communication skills needed for success in higher education and the global music industry.
