The Hochschule für Kirchenmusik der Evangelischen Landeskirche in Württemberg (University of Church Music of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Württemberg) is a prestigious institution dedicated to church music education, located in Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

With around 80 students, the university offers a comprehensive and practice-oriented education in church music, focusing on organ performance, choral conducting, and liturgical singing. Degree programs include a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) and a Master of Music (M.Mus.) in Church Music.

The curriculum combines high-level musical training with courses in theology, liturgy, and music theory, preparing students for careers as church musicians, organists, and choir conductors within the Evangelical-Lutheran Church. Thanks to its small size, students benefit from an excellent student-to-faculty ratio, individual mentoring, and close collaboration with highly qualified professors and professional musicians.

A distinctive feature of the university is its strong connection to the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Württemberg.
