Mozarteum University Salzburg·Music Education
Master of Arts (MA)
Diversity in Music Education is a Master’s programme designed for graduates of Instrumental and Vocal Pedagogy. Through this programme, students will become adept at arranging, adapting or creating new musical structures that fulfil the requirements of non-standard teaching situations. As well as furthering their skills of communication, improvisation, and design, students will expand their instrumental and vocal competencies, gain an in-depth knowledge of different musical styles and genres, and deepen their artistic perception.
The programme focuses on music education and pedagogy, covering instrumental and vocal skills, musical styles, and ensemble leadership. It prepares students for teaching music in schools and independent settings.
The programme is structured over four semesters with a combination of practical, theoretical, and pedagogical training. Students complete a Master's thesis and participate in various modules including artistic practice and scientific subjects.
Graduates develop a broad range of competencies including pedagogical skills, communicative abilities, and artistic creativity. They are prepared to take on teaching roles in diverse educational and cultural contexts.

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.
