Mozarteum University Salzburg·Musikerziehung
Master of Arts (MA)
The Master's program in Secondary Education (General Education) with a focus on Music Education prepares students for teaching in secondary schools. It combines practical teaching experience with theoretical knowledge in pedagogy and musicology. Graduates are equipped to enter the educational sector as music teachers in various institutions and can further develop their artistic skills.
Students study music pedagogy, music theory, and practical teaching methods. The curriculum includes both theoretical courses and workshops that enhance their teaching skills.
The program typically involves a combination of lectures, seminars, and practical workshops across four semesters. Students complete a Master's thesis as part of their studies, followed by a defense.
Graduates possess comprehensive knowledge in music education, enabling them to teach effectively in secondary educational settings. They develop strong pedagogical skills and an understanding of music theory, which enhances their teaching methodologies.

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.
