The Master program in Guitar (IGP) focuses on individual artistic, pedagogical, scientific, or practical fields. It prepares students to teach music at various educational institutions, emphasizing the creation and execution of personal artistic and pedagogical profiles. Students will also work on their artistic skills and competencies that are essential for managing ensembles and leading various musical styles.
Students study performance techniques, pedagogical methods, and music theory. The curriculum integrates practical and theoretical components with a focus on developing personal teaching styles and artistic expression.
The program is organized into module groups focusing on artistic and pedagogical competencies, including major subjects, electives, and a final master project. Continuous assessments and an entrance exam form part of the study structure.
Graduates will gain advanced artistic skills, pedagogical awareness, and the capacity for independent scientific research. They will be prepared for teaching in various musical institutions and for possible further artistic careers.

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.
