University of Art and Design Linz·Kunst und Gestaltung
Master of Education (MEd)
Das Masterstudium Lehramt Kunst und Gestaltung ist ein entscheidender Bestandteil der Lehrer heinausbildung. Es nutzt die im Bachelorstudium erlernten Fähigkeiten und vertieft diese durch didaktische und wissenschaftliche Kompetenzen. Der interdisziplinäre Dialog zwischen künstlerischer Praxis, Fachwissenschaft und Fachdidaktik steht im Mittelpunkt, wodurch Studierende auf das komplexe schulische Umfeld vorbereitet werden. Projekte und Diskussionen bilden die Basis für die Entwicklung und Reflexion von Unterrichtserfahrungen.
Students delve into artistic practices and educational theories, enriching their understanding of teaching art. The coursework includes practical teaching experiences.
The program is organized into four semesters, culminating in a Master's thesis. There are opportunities for internships and practical teaching experiences.
Graduates develop competencies in artistic expression, educational theory, and curriculum planning, enabling them to respond to diverse educational settings.
Periods can differ for EU/EEA and non-EU applicants. Always confirm on the official site before applying.

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.
Kunstuniversität Linz focuses on design, media art, and architecture, with close links to the Ars Electronica ecosystem.
