Student ID
Activation of the student card
Students receive a student ID card at the Service Point upon enrolment. Once the MOZonline account has been activated, the ID card can be validated for the current semester.
There are machines for this purpose in several of the Mozarteum University buildings: If the student card is inserted into the machine, its validity will be extended until the end of the current semester, and the "valid until" date will be printed on it.
Locations of the machines in Salzburg:
- Mirabellplatz 1: ground floor by the two lifts next to the porter's lodge
- Mozarteum Schwarzstraße: basement near the photocopier
- Orff Institute: ground floor in the corridor near the photocopier
- KunstWerk in Alpenstraße: ground floor by the coffee machine in front of the photography department.
Functions of the student card:
- Booking of practice rooms
- Access to some buildings
- As a library card
- Loading money for printing and copying on all copying and printing machines at the Mozarteum University: The "Moneyloader" is located in the main building, Mirabellplatz 1, next to the porter's desk.
In addition, students with the ID card often get discounts in Salzburg shops and pubs. Whether it's a bar, bakery or cinema: show your card and ask for a student discount!
Planning your studies
Five steps to good planning
Planning each semester or section of your course carefully can contribute to your enjoyment of studying, as you will not overlook any deadlines, no unnecessary time pressure arises and a semester or academic year is not unexpectedly "lost".
- Step 1: Study the curriculum carefully (e.g. sometimes there are courses that build upon each other successively and have to be completed in a particular order).
- Step 2: Seek advice (e.g. on the question of whether compulsory courses are offered every semester, only once per academic year or even less frequently). The tutors and the department secretaries will be happy to help.
- Step 3: Check the current courses offered in MOZonline.
- Step 4: Draw up a sensible timetable (with times for practising, studying or completing assignments, but also for the necessary rest, for friends or family, etc.); it is advisable to plan only about 60% of the week as a fixed schedule, to ringfence 20% as reserve time in case of unforeseen events, and to leave another 20% completely open.
- Step 5: Early registration for participation in the desired courses.
