University of Applied Arts Vienna·Cross-Disciplinary Studies
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
This Bachelor's program offers a unique interdisciplinary approach that integrates art, science, and philosophy to address global challenges. It empowers students to develop broad perspectives and foster innovative solutions through diverse methodologies. Students benefit from practical experiences, preparing them for varied careers in interdisciplinary fields.
Students engage with a diverse curriculum encompassing art, science, and philosophy, integrating these fields to address global challenges. This includes explorations of contemporary issues such as migration, media, and environment.
The program is structured across three phases: a foundational phase covering essential theories, a deepening phase focusing on cross-disciplinary techniques, and a final phase culminating in a Bachelor thesis. This format promotes collaborative learning and practical skill application through projects.
Graduates develop a comprehensive understanding of artistic practices, technical methodologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration, equipping them to navigate and address complex societal issues across various sectors.

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.
'Die Angewandte' is Vienna's university for art, design, and architecture, known for small studio-based classes and an entrance-portfolio admission model.
