General information

The course is aimed at graduates of a relevant artistic study programme at a recognised domestic or foreign post-secondary educational institution (e.g.: Bachelor's, Master's or Diploma programme). The university particularly welcomes applications from established string quartets.

For admission, proof of gradution from previous degree programmes must be submitted.

A prerequisite for admission to this university course is also the successful completion of an audition. Registration for an audition is completed online and requires candidates to upload documents proving their eligibility for the course. An invitation to audition will only be issued after the necessary documents have been submitted in full and approved by the admissions office.

Admissions procedure

  • Online registration during the application period via the application portal Muvac (Please note: Registration is only possible if all required information and documents have been submitted!)
  • Once the online application has been processed: invitation to on-site audition. The invitation will be sent via Muvac.
  • Participation in the on-site audition
  • Upon passing the audition and being offered a place: invitation to enrol in the study programme
  • Enrolment (in person) during the general admission period

Required documents for online registration

  • BA certificate and MA certificate or final certificate of an equivalent degree programme, if the degree programme has already been completed.
  • Confirmation of current enrolment in a Master's programme, if the study programme has not yet been completed (the transcript must be submitted prior to enrolment!)
  • Overview of subjects and grades from your BA and MA degree programmes (Transcript of Records)
  • Official confirmation of the principal study, if this is not evident from the other documents (e.g. "Bachelor of Music" is not sufficient!)

Format of documents

  • The documents can be uploaded as PDF in the application form; the video should be entered as a link.
  • If the documents are not available in German or English, an official translation must be submitted.

The audition

If an invitation to audition is issued, an instrumental audition must be performed on site to determine artistic aptitude.

An audition programme must be submitted which includes:

  • a quartet by W. A. Mozart or L. v. Beethoven
  • a quartet of the Romantic period
  • a quartet of the candidates' choice.

The duration of the performance programme should be at least 30 minutes. The audition panel will choose from the selected pieces.

Final Assessment

In order to successfully complete the programme, students must pass all courses set out in the curriculum and the intermediate examination, as well as passing the final examination, which takes the form of a public concert.

The course fees are Euro 960,- per semester.

Performance opportunities at university concerts and events inside and outside Salzburg form part of the course.
