The Bachelor in Künstlerisches Lehramt program focuses on teaching art at various educational levels. It combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills in artistic disciplines. Students will develop competencies in creativity, pedagogy, and art history, preparing them for careers in education and arts management.
This program covers various artistic disciplines, teaching methodologies, and educational theory. Students engage with both practical art creation and educational practices.
The curriculum is organized into six semesters with a mix of workshops, theory classes, and individual projects. A final thesis is required in the last semester.
Graduates gain skills in creative expression, instructional methodologies, and art analysis. They are prepared to teach and manage artistic programs.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
