University of Music and Performing Arts Graz·Education
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Teacher Education Programme at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz focuses on training educators for secondary general education. The program integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for teaching in various subjects. A significant aspect includes subject-specific internships distributed over the last semesters, providing hands-on teaching experience.
Students will study various educational theories, teaching methods, and specialized subjects such as music and language education. The program emphasizes the importance of practical teaching experience and specialized training in contemporary educational practices.
The program is organized into six semesters, including a dedicated practical semester in the fifth semester. Students engage in both theoretical coursework and hands-on internships, culminating in a final thesis addressing educational challenges.
Graduates acquire strong pedagogical skills, proficiency in specialized teaching subjects, and practical experience in classroom management. The program aims to equip students with the competencies necessary for effective teaching in diverse educational settings.

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.
