Academy of Fine Arts Vienna·Gestaltung und Technik
Master of Education (MEd)
Das Masterstudium Gestaltung im Kontext qualifiziert für das Lehramt im Fach Technisches und Textiles Werken und verbindet theoretische und praxisorientierte Ansätze. Es fördert eine kritische Reflexion über Gestaltung und Technik in den Kontexten von Gesellschaft, Umwelt und Kultur.
Die Studierenden beschäftigen sich mit Fragen der Gestaltung, Technik und deren gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung. Der Fokus liegt auf der Entwicklung einer verantwortungsbewussten Unterrichtspraxis.
Das Studium ist in Module unterteilt, die fachdidaktische Inhalte, Praxisphasen und vertiefende Projekte umfassen. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil ist die Erstellung einer Masterarbeit.
Absolventen sind in der Lage, komplexe Gestaltungskompetenzen zu entwickeln und kritisch mit den Herausforderungen des Unterrichts umzugehen.

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.
Founded in 1692, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is one of Europe's oldest art academies, focused on fine arts, scenography, conservation, and architecture.
