The path to admission

Details on the admissions procedure and information about the required repertoire can be found on the page of the respective study programme.

The information on "the path to admission" is general information. Not all information given here is relevant for all courses. It is therefore advisable to check the course page for specific requirements.

Overview of general information

The prerequisite for admission to a bachelor's degree programme (BA) in performance is passing an audition, and other composite parts of the entrance examination. Applicants must register online, after which an application video should be uploaded (in most cases, but not all). If the applicant passes the video screening, they will be invited to attend an audition on-site.

For admission to a master's programme (MA), candidates must have completed a bachelor's programme (BA) in a relevant subject at a recognised Austrian or foreign post-secondary educational institution (e.g. university, college). They will also be required to pass an audition.

In order to be able to start a teacher training programme in secondary education (general education) in the Central Region, prospective students must first pass a pedagogical aptitude test. This is part of the admissions procedure for all those wishing to begin a teaching degree in any subject. Before registering for the general admission procedure, applicants must complete the online self-assessment, pay the application fee and register for the Electronic Admission Test - details can be found at  https://lehrerin-werden.at

For the teaching subjects offered at the Mozarteum University (Fine Arts Education, Design: Technology.Textiles, Music Education and Instrumental Music Education) an entrance examination to demonstrate artistic aptitude is also required.

Admission to a postgraduate university course (PGL) requires the successful completion of a subject-related master's degree or diploma at a recognised Austrian or foreign post-secondary educational institution in the respective principal study. Admission with a teaching degree, such as music education or instrumental & vocal pedagogy, is NOT possible. A prerequisite for starting the course is also passing an audition. Auditions take place once a year. All information about the audition can be found under “Information on the Admissions Process” further down on the page.

All documents submitted as part of the application process will be carefully reviewed by the admissions office. This process can take up to 4 weeks! Early registration is therefore recommended.

Application for a study programme is only possible if a degree for this study programme has not yet been obtained.

Details on the respective admission procedures, the bachelor programmes considered relevant when registering for master's programmes and information on the required repertoire can be found at the respective degree programme.

Full authentification of certificates is required for documents from all those countries with which there is no bilateral certification agreement and which are also not contracting states to the Hague Authentication Convention.

For a full authentication of the required documents, a domestic authentification must first be obtained from the following bodies of the issuing country:

• the Ministry of Education and
• the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (or in some countries the Ministry of Justice)

Finally, the Austrian representative authority (embassy or consulate) responsible for the country in which the documents are issued must endorse these authentifications. Only original documents can be authenticated.

For some countries, the authentication by the Austrian representative authority is suspended. In this case, you will need to obtain domestic authentication from both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
