Yes, in general it is possible to attend selected courses as a non-degree programme student and, if interested, to take the examinations. An entrance examination is not necessary.
In order to be admitted to a non-degree programme, an application must be submitted to attend individual courses. However, only academic-theoretical courses are available for selection, depending on availability and capacity. Participation in artistic-practical courses, language courses, composition and aural training is not possible.
The application must be made by using the application form, it must be submitted to the Study and Examination Management (in person or by email to studienabteilung@moz.ac.at). The desired courses must be listed on the application form and the signatures of the teachers are also required.
Once the application has been approved, it is possible to attend the courses and take the examinations within one semester. Information on enrolment will be sent to you by e-mail.
Extraordinary students who attend individual courses as guest students must pay the ÖH fee and the normal tuition fee (€363.36) per semester, regardless of their nationality.
Information on semester fees can be found here.
Information can be found at www.stipendium.at or https://grants.at/de/ and under Financial & Scholarships.
The requirements differ depending on the course of study. For all studies and courses, an admission test must first be taken to prove artistic aptitude, which usually also includes proof of German language proficiency. For teacher training programs, the general university entrance qualification is also required.
If you are applying for a master's degree or a postgraduate course, you will also need to have completed the relevant previous studies (a bachelor's degree or master's degree in a suitable subject).
You will find detailed information for each study program on the respective study pages.
Attention: If you have already completed a degree programme, the same degree programme cannot be completed again!
Example: completed study BA Violoncello (artistic) -> no renewed artistic bachelor study in the same instrument possible! However, you could apply for any other bachelor study (artistic, pedagogical, other instrument) or for an artistic master study Violoncello.
The language of instruction at the Mozarteum University Salzburg is German for almost all studies. The only exceptions are the master's programme Applied Theatre and the doctoral programme PhD in the Arts, for which English language skills are required. Information on the required language level can be found here: German & English proficiency
For the postgraduate university courses no proof of German is necessary, here only lessons in the central artistic subject are given.
Admission examinations take place only once a year, for most studies in the summer semester. It is therefore recommended that you start your studies in the following winter semester. If this is not possible for you, a postponement of the start of studies to the following summer semester is also conceivable after consultation with the teacher and approval by the Rectorate. Please report this during the general admission period at the latest, so that the study places can be distributed accordingly.
An exception are the diploma studies in directing and acting, for which the admission procedure takes place in winter. Studies then begin in the following summer semester.
Yes, you can attend lectures before you start your degree programme. However, it is not possible to attend group or individual lessons. To be on the safe side, contact the lecturer before your visit and ask whether it is possible to attend the course once to get to know the university.
Attending lectures with subsequent participation in examinations is with costs and only possible as an extraordinary student upon application. You can find more information HERE.
Yes, at individual departments and institutions.
Department of Music Education Salzburg
Depending on the programme, bachelor's, master's, or (rarely) diploma degrees can be earned. In addition, there are also doctoral studies. Specific information on which degrees are offered can be found in the study finder. There you can filter the list of studies by degree.
Yes, for example in the ERASMUS program. You can get information about the possible mobility programs from the International Office.
If you are already studying at the Mozarteum University Salzburg and would like to participate in a mobility program, please also contact the International Office: international@moz.ac.at
Study in Salzburg
Yes, there are several dormitories for students in Salzburg. For more information, feel free to visit our page "Living in Salzburg"! There you will find a list of dormitories as well as other useful tips.
No. However, for students under 26 years of age, the "Klimaticket Salzburg Student" is available for purchase.
Yes, there are several Mensa restaurants and buffets at the Salzburg university campus. Here, products are mainly sourced from local suppliers and processed further. In addition to the Mensa moi'zeit in the main building (Mirabellplatz 1), you can also visit the other locations. Location overview and offer of meals: https://www.mensen.at/
Yes, students may use the offers of the University Sports Institute (USI) at the student rate. The USI offers a wide range of sports for students, university employees and external persons. Timely registration is required for all courses. The current offer as well as further information can be found here.
You can also use the UFZ (USI Fitness Center), where special rates apply.
Admission test
No. For all regular studies at the Mozarteum University Salzburg an admission examination to determine artistic aptitude must be passed.
Yes, only for the teacher training programs (Fine Arts Education, Design:Technology.Textiles, Music Education and Instrumental Music Education) the general university entrance qualification is an important admission requirement. All other studies and courses do not require a general university entrance qualification; only proof of artistic aptitude is decisive there.
Yes, even if you change your place of study, you have to take the admission test. In the application form you can indicate that you have already started your studies at another university and would like to continue them at the Mozarteum University Salzburg. Please upload your Transcript of Records of your current studies in the application, your studies can then be at least partially recognized and you will be able to start from a higher semester.
The number of study places is limited and depends mainly on the free capacities of the teachers in the Central Artistic Subject (ZKF). These vary depending on the number of graduates in the current year. If not enough prospective students pass the entrance examination, it can also happen that study places remain free and are not allocated again until the following year. The admission situation therefore changes annually.
There is a fixed number in the Diploma Program in Acting, where 10 new students can be admitted per cohort.
The percentage of successful applications varies greatly depending on the study program, therefore no general statement can be made. For some studies, only 3-10% of the applicants receive a place, while in other studies it can be over 80%. Quantitatively, the competition is particularly high in the diploma program in acting as well as in the bachelor's and master's programs in piano and voice. In the teacher training programs, on the other hand, a large proportion of applicants pass the entrance examination. Here too, however, there are clear differences between the individual artistic majors.
It is certain that only those who take the entrance examination can be admitted to the program. Therefore, feel free to register, even if you are unsure whether you will pass the exam. In the worst case, you will have gained important experience through your participation, which will increase your chances in the next application procedure.
The examination requirements of the next admission examinations are usually updated on the study pages around the turn of the year.
If the current information is not yet available, you can read through the examination requirements of the past admission procedure in advance. These will give you a good insight, because the requirements usually change only slightly, if at all.
Yes, in principle it is possible to apply for several studies at the same time. Please note, however, that double applications for the same study program in Instrumental (Voice) Pedagogy (IGP) at the two different Mozarteum locations Innsbruck and Salzburg are not possible.
If you receive acceptances for several study places, you are free to decide whether and how many of the places you accept, as long as the studies are located at the same site. It is not possible to be enrolled at the Mozarteum locations in Innsbruck and Salzburg at the same time!
With a passed admission exam, you are entitled to enrol in the semester immediately following the exam, possibly with additional conditions that will be communicated to you when you receive your notification. If this is not possible for you, a postponement of the start of studies to the following semester is also possible after consultation with the lecturers and approval by the Rectorate. Please notify us of this during the general admission period at the latest, so that the study places can be distributed accordingly.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to save up the study place for a later enrolment; the examination expires after one year. Therefore, if you do not apply for the study place in time, but still want to study at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, it is necessary to participate in the admission procedure again.
Example: Admission examination in summer 2023 -> start of studies in winter semester 2023/24 or on application in summer semester 2024; new examination necessary for winter semester 2024/25
The registration period for most admission exams (instrumental studies) is from February 1st to 28th 2024. The application for pedagogical studies as well as Pre-College is from 1st February to 28th March 2024. Exceptions are the diploma studies Acting and Directing (November/December). Dates are published before the start of the registration period and can be found here.
The dates and deadlines must be approved every year. The new dates are published as soon as they are confirmed. This is usually the case in mid-December. Please be patient if you cannot find the new dates yet. The dates and deadlines for all studies will be published by the beginning of the new year at the latest.

In individual cases (e.g. changes in the composition of the teaching staff) there may be delays. If you still have not received feedback after 3 weeks, please feel free to contact us via email.
Unfortunately, rejections cannot be avoided due to the number of applications and in no way mean that you lack the necessary talent. Take the experience you have gained during the admissions process with you to continue working on yourself. Feel free to reapply next year - you may find that the admissions situation is quite different!
Teacher Education Studies
If you have applied for a secondary (general education) teacher education program and completed the general admission process, but failed the arts admission exam, you have the option of being admitted to another teaching subject at an institution in the respective developmental cluster until the end of the admission period.
You can register to the arts admission exam again in the following year.
There is no official waiting list at the Mozarteum University Salzburg. However, if there are more applicants at the appropriate level than available study places, a waiting list is sometimes set up. In case of cancellations of study places by new students, the next listed applicants will then move up.
You will find out whether there is a waiting list for your desired study program and whether you are listed there in the confirmation e-mail after you have passed the admission test. You will then be informed immediately (by September 30 at the latest) if your admission situation changes.
You can accept the study place within the general admission period (until September 5 in the winter semester or until February 5 in the summer semester) . In individual cases, enrollment is also possible until October 31 (winter semester) or March 31 (summer semester). However, we would appreciate an early response as to whether you will accept the study place in order to be able to plan better.
There is no requirement regarding the cancellation of study places. However, we appeal to your fairness so that study places can be passed on to prospective students on the waiting list if necessary! Therefore, please inform us as soon as possible after receipt of the examination result that you wish to return the study place. If you do not enrol in time, your place will be forfeited.
In order to be admitted next year, you would then have to take another entrance examination.
Admission examinations take place only once a year, for most studies in the summer semester. It is therefore recommended that you start your studies in the following winter semester. If this is not possible for you, a postponement of the start of studies to the following summer semester is also conceivable after consultation with the teacher and approval by the Rectorate. Please report this during the general admission period at the latest so that the study places can be distributed accordingly.
If you neither enrol during the general admission period nor have arranged for a later start of studies, your admission examination will be forfeited. In order to begin studies at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, a new admission examination would then be necessary.

Course registration after the deadline is not possible. Without timely registration in Mozonline, no courses can be taken and thus no certificates can be issued.
If you have enrolled after the course registration deadline, please contact the departmental secretariat responsible for your studies.
Attendance of at least 80% is compulsory for courses that are subject to examinations. Courses that are not subject to examinations do not have compulsory attendance. Whether a course is subject to examinations can be seen in the course description in MOZonline. A good indication is: lectures are not subject to examinations, all other courses are subject to examinations.
The curriculum is issued by the responsible Curriculum Commission (CK) and the Senate in the form of an ordinance and forms the legal basis of your studies . In addition to the qualification profile, the curriculum contains the necessary admission requirements, the content, the duration and the structure of a study program. Furthermore, the curriculum contains the examination regulations. All curricula of the Mozarteum University Salzburg are available on the website under the respective studies.
The curriculum provides information about
- the courses to be completed (e.g. compulsory subjects, electives, free electives) together with the course types, semester hours per week (SWS) and ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System)
- specified for the respective study program, the examinations to be completed (e.g. course examinations, commission) and the examination regulations.Examinations (e.g. course examinations, commission examinations, commission final examinations such as bachelor's, master's, diploma examinations, viva voce examinations),
- the written work to be completed (bachelor's, master's, diploma theses, dissertations),
- the recommended time sequence per semester
Depending on the curriculum, compulsory subjects, electives and free electives are defined:
- compulsory subjects are courses that are mandatory for graduation and must be taken by all students in the programme according to the curriculum.
- Electives (or compulsory electives) are courses that are mandatory for graduation, but can be chosen from a pool of courses (e.g. elective list in the bachelor's program in concert performance). The type and extent of electives to be taken are specified in the curriculum.
- Free electives are courses that are mandatory for the degree, but can be chosen completely freely (as long as there are no restrictions in the curriculum). The extent of the electives to be taken is determined in the curriculum. In principle, all courses offered at a domestic or foreign recognized post-secondary educational institution (e.g. university, college, recognized conservatory, etc.) can be taken as free electives, provided there is no restriction on the number of participants or special admission requirements have to be met.
Note: All courses taken outside the Mozarteum University Salzburg must be recognized for the respective study program at the Mozarteum.
The courses offered in the respective semester of all curricula are recorded online in the course offerings of the Mozarteum University Salzburg.

With your registration you have bindingly reserved a place in the course. The following rules apply to the German courses:
- You may be absent a maximum of 6 times during the semester, but you are obligated to re-learn the missed material yourself.
- If you are absent more than 6 times, you will automatically be excluded from the course.
- If you arrive later than 15 minutes after class begins or leave earlier than 15 minutes before class ends, you will be considered to have missed the entire class.
To continue a course in the next semester, the following rule applies: You must have positively completed the previous course or positively pass the placement test.

Nostrification - recognition of foreign academic degrees
Nostrification is the recognition of a degree obtained at a recognised foreign higher education institution as a degree from a domestic degree programme. The application must be submitted to a domestic university at which the corresponding domestic degree programme is established. The application requires proof that the nostrification is absolutely necessary for the applicant to exercise his or her profession or to continue his or her education in Austria. This means that a nostrification application is only admissible if:
- the exercise of a profession or activity is compulsorily linked to the possession of an Austrian academic degree or study qualification, i.e. it is not possible without nostrification (this may be stipulated by law or ordinance - so-called "regulated professions"; e.g. civil engineers, teachers at higher schools, certain trades - or in internal general company guidelines)
- the entitlement to directly exercise this profession or activity does not already exist on the basis of EU regulations.
See also the application form with further explanations.
If you have any questions, please contact the Course & Examination Management.
Applications for nostrification can only be submitted where the corresponding degree programme is offered. In the case of Fachhochschule degrees, the Fachhochschule Council is responsible for nostrification.
If required, a certificate evaluation of a foreign higher education qualification can also be carried out by ENIC NARIC AUSTRIA, information can be found here.
