Bachelor of Arts (BA)
Das Bachelorstudium in Historische Blasinstrumente Oboe an der Kunstuniversität Graz zielt darauf ab, den Studierenden eine umfassende musikalische und künstlerische Ausbildung zu bieten. Es umfasst sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Elemente, die durch renommierte Professoren gelehrt werden. Durch das Studium erwerben die Studierenden nicht nur technische Fertigkeiten, sondern auch ein tiefes Verständnis für das historische Musizieren. Absolventen sind gut vorbereitet für Karrieren in verschiedenen musikalischen Bereichen, insbesondere in der Aufführungspraxis und im Orchesterspiel.
The program focuses on the historical performance practice of wind instruments, particularly the oboe. Students study the repertoire, techniques, and context of early music, emphasizing both solo and ensemble performance.
The Bachelor program spans 8 semesters and includes 240 ECTS credits. It integrates practical instrument training, theoretical coursework, and prepares students through performance opportunities and a distinct focus on historical music practices.
Graduates acquire advanced instrumental skills, a solid understanding of historical contexts, and the ability to perform with authenticity in various musical settings. They also gain skills in critical listening and music theory.

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.
