Das Bachelorstudium Kontrabass bietet eine praxisorientierte Ausbildung, die Instrumentalunterricht, Coaching und Auftrittserfahrung umfasst. Studierende nehmen aktiv an Orchester- und Ensembleprojekten teil und können sich in studentischen Konzerten präsentieren. Die Ausbildung fördert sowohl die künstlerische als auch die wissenschaftliche Kompetenz, die für verschiedene Musikberufe benötigt wird.
Students engage in various instrumental techniques and repertoire. The curriculum emphasizes performance skills and theoretical knowledge in music. There are also components focusing on individual creativity and team collaboration within ensembles.
The program is organized into multiple modules, each covering specific thematic and didactic areas relevant to instrumental studies. Semesters include progressive levels of difficulty, leading to a final thesis or project.
Graduates develop artistic maturity and independence, critical self-reflection, and the ability to perform professionally in orchestras and ensembles. They also gain a strong foundation in music theory and practice.

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.
