This postgraduate university course builds upon students' artistic knowledge and skills acquired during undergraduate and master's studies, helping them perfect their musicianship and instrumental technique. Numerous performance opportunities are offered, alongside electives for further specialization. Successful completion leads to a certificate, enhancing career prospects in various musical domains.
Students will focus on advanced techniques in oboe performance, explore various musical styles, and participate in ensembles and solo performances. The curriculum is designed to enhance both technical skills and interpretative abilities.
The program is structured over 2 semesters, which includes intensive instruction in the principal study as well as opportunities to take electives. Additional semesters may be added with approval from faculty.
Graduates will develop a high level of technical proficiency on the oboe, alongside skills in performance, interpretation, and pedagogy. They will also enhance their abilities to engage in collaborative music-making and teach music effectively.
Periods can differ for EU/EEA and non-EU applicants. Always confirm on the official site before applying.

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.
