The first round of a questionnaire survey on resilience and empowerment among music students in Germany, France, and Switzerland is underway – with the participation of the Karlsruhe University of Music (HfM Karlsruhe)
The study “Resilience and Empowerment among Music Students” (REMUS) examines the topic of health as well as the specific demands and resources associated with studying music. It focuses on the strengths and resources of music students, their coping with stress, and their experiences in relationships with fellow students and faculty. The survey will be conducted at two time points approximately 12 months apart and is scheduled for fall 2026 and fall 2027.
The aim of the study is to identify effective protective factors and, building on these, to formulate evidence-based recommendations for the development of support services and empowerment strategies at conservatories.
The study is designed as an online survey of international students at various conservatory locations in Germany, France, and Switzerland: Freiburg, Lucerne, Mannheim, Strasbourg, Basel, Bern, Karlsruhe and Stuttgart.
