University of Music and Performing Arts Graz·Computer Music
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Bachelor's Programme in Computer Music focuses on the art of sound through various mediums such as composition, performance, and the development of electronic instruments. Students acquire a comprehensive understanding of computer music theory, history, and aesthetics. This foundational programme prepares graduates for careers in music, media, and the creative industries.
Students study various aspects of computer music, including composition, performance, and the integration of technology in music. Key topics involve music informatics and artistic research methods.
The program is organized into six semesters, culminating in a final thesis project. Students also engage in practical internships and examinations throughout their studies.
Graduates will gain competencies in electronic music composition and performance, as well as technical skills in music informatics and instrument development. They will also develop critical thinking and artistic reflection skills.

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.
