The Bachelor program in Applied Cultural Studies allows students to study culture as a dynamic phenomenon that shapes humanity and society. Students will engage with various cultural practices and theories, equipping themselves for careers in fields like cultural management, intercultural consulting, and academia. The program emphasizes the practical application of cultural knowledge, preparing students to handle real-world cultural projects in diverse environments.
Studierende beschäftigen sich mit kulturellen Phänomenen, Sprachen und deren gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen. Es wird ein interdisziplinärer Ansatz verfolgt, der Theorie und Praxis kombiniert.
Das Studium umfasst verschiedene Phasen, in denen Pflichtmodule und Wahlfächer belegt werden. Praktische Projekte und Exkursionen sind integriert, um praktische Erfahrungen zu sammeln.

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.
