University of Music and Performing Arts Graz·Electrical Engineering and Audio Engineering
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The Bachelor's Programme in Electrical Engineering and Audio Engineering merges technology with music, providing students with a solid foundation in both fields. This interdisciplinary approach allows students to specialize in areas such as electrical engineering and audio technology. Graduates are well-prepared for various roles in the audio industry and multimedia sectors, showcasing the seamless blend of technical and creative skills.
Students study the principles of electrical engineering with a focus on audio applications. Key topics include audio technology, digital signal processing, and music theory. Hands-on practice in both music and technology prepares them for diverse career options.
The program is structured over six semesters, combining theoretical courses with practical projects. Students engage in both individual and group work, culminating in a final thesis that showcases their skills and knowledge.
Graduates develop a strong competency in both technology and music, equipping them for diverse roles in engineering, acoustics, and multimedia. They gain critical thinking skills and a solid foundation in interdisciplinary knowledge.

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.
