Mozarteum University Salzburg·Music Education
Master of Science (MSc)
The MA in Instrumental Pedagogy (Diatonic Accordion) is a four-semester program designed to deepen the artistic, pedagogical, and academic skills gained in undergraduate studies. Focused on teaching, students can specialize in areas like children's choir conducting and jazz. Graduates are prepared for careers in music schools, general education, and academia.
The program encompasses a comprehensive study of key themes such as digital systems, network design, cybersecurity, and data management. Students engage in both theoretical and practical approaches, focusing on current technologies and their applications in real-world scenarios.
The program is organized into four semesters, culminating in a capstone project or thesis. Throughout the study, students participate in hands-on internships to gain practical experience and insights into industry practices.
Graduates will possess essential competencies in systems analysis, problem-solving, and project management, alongside a strong foundation in emerging technologies. They will also develop critical thinking and communication skills necessary for effective collaboration in diverse teams.

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.
The Mozarteum is one of the world's most renowned music universities, offering instrumental studies, voice, conducting, and music pedagogy in Mozart's birthplace.
