Das Masterstudium in Keramik fördert die Entwicklung einer eigenständigen künstlerischen Haltung. Der Studiengang bietet eine praxisorientierte Ausbildung und setzt auf Intermedialität, wobei sowohl traditionelle als auch digitale Medien zur Anwendung kommen. Die Absolvent*innen werden auf eine professionelle Karriere in der Kunst und verwandten Bereichen vorbereitet.
In the Master’s program for Ceramics, students explore the artistic potential of ceramics, integrating theories from cultural studies, sociology, and philosophy. The curriculum emphasizes the development of an independent artistic stance while enhancing skills in both artistic and theoretical articulation.
The program is structured in a project-oriented way, allowing students to undertake individual artistic projects. It includes a blend of elective courses, a thesis component, and opportunities for internships, fostering both creative development and practical experience.
Graduates gain competencies in sculptural practices and three-dimensional representation forms, along with the ability to work as designers of ceramic objects. They also develop skills for advising and contributing creatively within production industries.

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.
