Students of this master's programme will further develop their vocal technique at a highly professional level, deepening and expanding their technical skills through a specialization in Early Music. The program focuses on artistic development through performances, particularly in baroque opera, and equips students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to work as soloists or in ensembles.
The program covers vocal technique, repertoire selection, performance practice, and ensemble work. Students engage in historical and contemporary styles, emphasizing a rich understanding of early music.
The curriculum is organized into modules with a progressive structure, leading to a comprehensive understanding of vocal arts. Each semester builds upon the previous one, incorporating practical performance, theoretical studies, and the completion of a final project or thesis.
Graduates will possess advanced vocal skills, critical analytical abilities, and the capability to perform professionally in various settings. They will have a broad knowledge of repertoire and the versatility to adapt to different musical styles.

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.
