Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Budapest

What you'll study

The documented requirements specify performance content rather than a named module list. Students must present at least two programmes of 35 minutes each (2x35 minutes), covering two or three distinct stylistic areas and involving both singers and instrumental partners. At least one programme must include a significant concerto, chamber or performance piece with one or more instrumental partners. Vocal repertoire must include multiple items chosen by the candidate from options such as a song cycle or a selection of songs, or an oratorio or opera excerpt performed with singers and/or a choir.

Entry requirements

The published requirement page sets a submission deadline (20 October 2025) and describes the prescribed performance deliverables. No additional formal entry criteria are listed on the supplied text; the page focuses on the diploma performance requirements candidates must meet.

Career prospects

Graduates prepared to meet these requirements will be positioned for work as professional collaborative pianists, répétiteurs, rehearsal pianists and chamber musicians. The emphasis on concerto, chamber and operatic/oratorio repertoire with vocal and choral forces supports careers in opera houses, concert venues, conservatoires and festival oratorio productions, where versatile sight-reading, coaching and ensemble skills are required.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

Prospective students should check the academy’s central student funding and international offices, as well as departmental announcements, for scholarships, masterclass funding and travel/grant opportunities relevant to performance study. Downloadable institutional documents and student guides are available from the academy for administrative and funding information.
