The phoniatric certificate is an enrolment requirement for - all degree programmes in the field of

• Classical Voice/Musical Theatre
• all degree programmes with Jazz Voice as a major subject
• intensive master's degree programme in Drama
• all Teacher Training programmes

Applicants for all degree programmes with singing or jazz singing as a major subject as well as the intensive master's degree programme in drama should bring the certificate with them to the entrance examination. Applicants for the teacher training programmes only present the assessment report during enrolment.
 

A phoniatric assessment can only be carried out by a specialist in speech, voice and childhood hearing disorders (phoniatrist and paediatric audiologist) or a specialist in ENT medicine with an additional qualification in "voice and speech disorders".

The costs of such an assessment are generally not covered by health insurance companies.

Appointments with a phoniatrist are usually booked months in advance. So please make sure you book in good time.
 

• Complete ENT endoscopy: The examining doctor checks whether the larynx, in particular the vocal folds, are free of organic changes and inflammation.
• Videolaryngostroboscopy:With the help of this examination, the vibration behaviour of the vocal folds can be precisely assessed.
• Vocal status:Criteria for voice status include vocal tone, vocalisation, speaking pitch, vocal strength, vocal use, vocal range, swelling capacity and tone retention time. The voice status provides information on whether functional abnormalities occur that may impair the performance of the voice despite normal organ findings. The voice profile, which is usually also created, also provides information about the performance of the voice.
• Audiometry: This examines whether the hearing ability fulfils the requirements of a speaking or singing profession. If necessary, additional phoniatric examinations are carried out for precise clarification.  

Please note that the partial examinations and their results can be read from the report.

• not older than 6 months:  for all degree programmes with Voice or Jazz Voice as the main subject
• not older than 18 months: for the Drama degree programme
• not older than 24 months: for all Teacher Training degree programmes
