The Bachelor of Arts program focuses on developing a deep understanding of various visual arts disciplines. Students engage in a hands-on educational experience, exploring both traditional and contemporary art forms. The program emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and personal expression, preparing graduates for careers in various artistic fields or further academic pursuits.
In this program, students explore the intersection of visual art, design, and technology, focusing on topics like multimedia art, digital design, and contemporary artistic practices. The curriculum emphasizes experimental approaches and the critical role of media in art and culture.
The program is structured over four semesters, culminating in a master's thesis that allows students to synthesize their learning. Throughout their studies, students engage in workshops and collaborative projects, alongside internships to gain practical experience.
Graduates develop a strong interdisciplinary skill set that includes critical thinking, technical proficiency in various media, and the ability to conceptualize and execute innovative art projects. They are prepared to navigate the complexities of the contemporary art world.

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.
