University of Klagenfurt·Educational Sciences
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Bachelor’s degree in Educational Sciences focuses on understanding the influences of social and ecological factors on human development and learning. It provides a diverse learning environment where students engage with interdisciplinary content from philosophy to sociology. Graduates are equipped to work in various educational sectors, promoting inclusive practices and adapting to the needs of diverse learners.
Students explore topics in educational theories, pedagogical practices, and the role of education in society. They gain insights into psychological, social, and philosophical aspects of education, leading to a comprehensive understanding of the field.
The program is structured in six semesters, combining lectures, seminars, and practical training. Students will complete a thesis project and engage in internships to gain hands-on experience in educational settings.
Graduates develop competencies in educational assessment, curriculum design, and inclusive teaching practices. They acquire skills in research and critical analysis, preparing them for diverse career paths in education.

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.
