Bachelor of Education (BEd)
The Bachelor's program in Artistic Teaching aims to equip future educators with the skills necessary for teaching in various school formats. The program balances theoretical and practical aspects, focusing on creativity and artistic expression. Graduates are prepared to teach at secondary education levels and can pursue specialized subjects. The course includes extensive pedagogical training and the option for continued studies in a Master's program.
The Artistic Teaching program focuses on contemporary art education practices, emphasizing creativity, critical thinking, and pedagogical skills. Key areas of study include artistic methodologies, educational theory, and hands-on teaching techniques relevant to various educational contexts.
This bachelor's program is structured over six semesters, incorporating theoretical courses, practical workshops, and teaching internships. Students are required to engage in two teaching subjects or focus on a specialization in Inclusive Education during their studies.
Graduates of this program acquire competencies in artistic expression, pedagogical methods, and educational psychology, preparing them to work as innovative educators in various school settings. They develop strong communication skills and the ability to create inclusive learning environments.

Non-EU / third-country rate. Always confirm on the official site.
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.
