University of Music and Performing Arts Graz·Music Technology
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Bachelor program in Computer Music and Sound Art focuses on the artistic and technical aspects of sound creation and composition using modern technologies. It integrates theoretical knowledge with practical skills, preparing students for various fields in music, art, media, and the creative industries. Students will engage in critical, independent, and creative work, emphasizing a holistic approach to their education.
The curriculum covers composition, performance practice, and the development of tools for computer music. Students delve into sound design, music technology, and interdisciplinary approaches to art. Emphasis is placed on both theoretical insights and practical applications.
The program is structured over six semesters, requiring hands-on projects, theoretical courses, and a final bachelor's thesis. Students gain exposure to various artistic fields through workshops, practical exercises, and individual research projects. The curriculum supports internships to enhance real-world experience.
Graduates will be equipped with artistic, scientific, technical, and practical competencies necessary for artistic expression in the field of computer music and sound art. They will be prepared for professional roles in composition, performance, and media production.

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.
