The Master's programme in Applied Theatre emphasizes critical reflection and artistic independence in the field of community-based performing arts. It explores participatory and immersive theatre practices, targeting professionals from diverse backgrounds. Students develop personal projects while engaging in societal contexts, fostering inclusivity and collaboration.
In the Applied Theatre program, students explore the intersection of artistic practice and societal engagement, focusing on themes such as cultural identity, community dynamics, and the role of theatre in addressing contemporary social issues. The curriculum covers a range of topics, including theatre pedagogy, performance theory, and documentary practices, equipping students with the skills to create impactful performances that resonate with diverse audiences.
The program is structured over four semesters, each encompassing intensive workshops, seminars, and collaborative projects. Students engage in practical training, culminating in a thesis project during their final semester, along with opportunities for internships in various artistic and educational settings.
Graduates of the Applied Theatre program develop strong competencies in artistic creation, facilitation, and critical thinking, along with enhanced skills in collaboration, research methodologies, and community engagement. They are equipped to adapt their artistic practice in diverse environments, making meaningful contributions to social discourse through performance.

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.
