Welcome to the School of Music, Theatre and Art

The School of Music, Theatre and Art at Örebro University is a unique meeting place for artistically and academically-oriented minds to develop their knowledge and skills. The department boasts some of the most highly- renowned teaching and research staff in Sweden, high-spec studio and practice facilities and has close cooperations with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Norrbotten Big Band as well as music producers from across Sweden.
Here at Örebro, we combine teaching on a wide range of music traditions with practical, skills-based knowledge and research. Our bachelor’s programs in Music Performance (where students can choose to study Music Production, Jazz and Pop, Chamber Music or Composition), Music Education, Musicology and Theatre programs are among the best in Sweden. Our Music and Human Beings research group also delivers first-class, international research through focusing on the societal impact of music.
A vibrant campus near the city centre of Örebro
The city of Örebro is famous for its thriving music and cultural scenes and the School of Music, Theatre and Art is a big part of that. Örebro itself is home to the Swedish Chamber Orchestra as well as the international Live at Heart showcase music festival. Our students make up the sound techs, musicians, performers, actors and set designers, within and beyond the city itself across a range of genres.
