If you want to pursue your studies in Germany, what variety of institutions are available? There are (technical) universities, which focus on the academic teaching of science. If you want a more practical-oriented curriculum, a university of applied sciences might be a better fit. Next to those, there are also specific universities for art and music. Usually, universities are funded by the government, but there are also private universities you can attend. But they demand high tuition fees!
