The Lehramt Musik BA program focuses on making music accessible through both theoretical and practical insights. It fosters personal artistic growth by providing music pedagogical know-how to open individual paths to music for future generations. The course prepares students for diverse roles in music education and related fields.
Im Studium werden sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Kenntnisse in der Musikpädagogik und -vermittlung vermittelt. Der Fokus liegt auf der künstlerischen Entwicklung der Studierenden und dem Umgang mit zukünftigen Schülern. Themen sind unter anderem Instrumentalunterricht und Musikvermittlung.
Das Studium ist in acht Semester gegliedert, welche die verschiedenen Aspekte der Musikpädagogik abdecken. Es beinhaltet Praktika sowie eine Abschlussarbeit, die die erlernten Inhalte vertieft und anwendet.

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.
