Das Bachelorstudium Kunst und Bildung bereitet die Studierenden auf eine Lehrtätigkeit im Bereich Kunst und Gestaltung vor. Es kombiniert zwei Unterrichtsfächer, einschließlich Fachdidaktik und pädagogischer Praxis. Die Ausbildung vermittelt interdisziplinäre Kompetenzen, die weit über die Lehrqualifikation hinausgehen, und fördert die Entwicklung in kunstvermittelnden sowie kulturellen Bereichen.
Students explore artistic techniques, theories of art and society, and the integration of art into educational contexts. The curriculum emphasizes practical teaching skills and theoretical knowledge necessary for effective art education.
The program is structured over eight semesters, culminating in a bachelor's thesis. The curriculum is divided into foundational courses, specialized artistic training, and pedagogical modules, promoting both theoretical understanding and practical application.
Graduates gain competencies in art education, design thinking, and interdisciplinary approaches. They develop critical skills for analyzing cultural practices and applying artistic methods in classroom settings.

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.
