The MA Teacher Training Program: English focuses on developing advanced competencies in language practice, linguistics, literary studies, cultural studies, and subject didactics. This program equips students with the necessary skills to become effective English educators. A strong emphasis is placed on participation in academic discourse to enhance teaching methodologies.
The program explores diverse topics within English language and literature, focussing on pedagogical strategies and academic research in education. Subjects include advanced linguistics and teaching methods specific to the English language.
The curriculum is organized into four semesters, culminating in a master's thesis. Students participate in lectures, workshops, and seminars, integrating theory and practice. There is also an option for an interdisciplinary approach in the thesis.
Graduates develop strong competencies in teaching and curriculum development, critical analysis of texts, and effective communication skills. They gain insights into educational theories and practical teaching strategies, preparing them for various educational roles.

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.
