General Information Austria The democratic republic of Austria is a federal state with 9 provinces: Burgenland, Carinthia, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Vienna. The overall area of Austria amounts to 83,858 km2 and the population numbers about 9 million inhabitants. Austria is a member state of the European Union and of the United Nations. The City of Salzburg The city of Salzburg, capital of the federal province with the same name, is situated in a basin surrounded by limestone mountains to the south and to the west, and by hilly country with many lakes to the north and east. The city was the centre of an ecclesiastical principality for almost a thousand years. The architecture of the city is largely characterized by magnificent buildings and large squares in the old town centre created during the Baroque period. During the 20th century Salzburg became renowned as a festival, art and congress city and also an important centre of business, transport and administration. The city has about 150,000 inhabitants. The favourable geographical situation of the city of Salzburg as an axis linking north and south can be traced back historically to the 8th century. It goes without saying that contacts with the European area are fostered; the idea of bringing the nations of Europe together has a centuries’ old tradition in Salzburg. Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, the genius composer who was born here, travelled from his home town to cities such as London, Paris, Milan, Naples, Prague and Mannheim and introduced a European dimension into musical life in Salzburg. In the following century music festivals were organized at irregular intervals which culminated in the founding of the Salzburg Festival in 1920. Salzburg thus opened itself not only to the whole of Europe but also on an international scale. Fostering and promoting encounters, and cooperationin the fine arts were thereby further intensified and became more international. The History The history of the Mozarteum University Salzburg begins in 1841: On the fiftieth anniversary of  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's death, the music-loving citizens of Salzburg, with the support of the Prince-Archbishop, founded the "Dommusikverein und Mozarteum" as a conservatory for the cultivation of sophisticated church music. At that time there was a shortage of young instrumentalists, which was reflected in the state of the musical landscape: "The choir (...) was drowned out by the orchestra, which really played too loudly (...) the best players were the three trombonists - the next best was the double bass player (...). In the birthplace of the most wonderful composer who ever lived, music is indeed in a state of sad decay " (Vincent and Mary Novello on the occasion of their visit to Salzburg in 1826, from the notes in their travel diary "A Mozart Pilgrimage"). The Mozarteum was primarily intended as a conservatory for the training of young musicians for the ecclesiastical service of the Salzburg Cathedral and was to initiate a revival for Salzburg. The goals of the founders also included organising concerts, engaging musicians and, above all, paying them. In addition, gifted students of the conservatory were supported financially through the awarding of scholarships. In the first decades of its existence, the Mozarteum was not only an educational institution, but also an important focal point around which culturally-minded citizens could unite. Moreover, it was strongly anchored in the political consciousness, through the development of the city into a music and tourist centre based around Mozart''s heritage. In 1870, the International Mozart Foundation was established to promote talented musicians, and a decade later the Mozarteum Public Music School was founded, which in 1881 was taken over by the International Mozart Foundation. In addition to running the music school, the foundation administered an orchestra (later the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg) as well as a fund for the support of talented musicians. In 1914, the Mozarteum Public Music School became an independent educational institution and was recognised as a public conservatory. Due to the difficult financial situation after the First World War, the music school was nationalised in 1922, becoming the Mozarteum State University in 1939 and the Mozarteum Reich University in 1941. After the end of the Second World War, teaching, which had largely come to a standstill, was gradually resumed and the Mozarteum continued under the title of Musikhochschule. The beginning of the 1950s saw the founding of numerous new departments, academic institutes and special courses, and in 1953 the Academy of Music was elevated to the status of the "Mozarteum" Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Salzburg. A change in the law governing higher education in 1970 resulted in the Academy, together with the three other Austrian arts academies, became a so-called "Hochschule", marking a democratisation in the development and promotion of the arts (read more: On the way to becoming an arts university). in 1998, the former music school received university status and was given the name by which it is known today: Mozarteum University Salzburg. In addition to the Mozarteum University, two other independent Salzburg institutions bear the name "Mozarteum": the International Mozarteum Foundation and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg.

There are various kinds of accounts, for instance a student account or a current account for which different conditions apply. Medical Care Please check whether your health insurance in your home country is also valid in Austria. If not, you must take out health insurance in Austria. We recommend taking out insurance in Austria even if your health insurance is valid in Austria because it makes the bureaucracy much easier. For foreign students from countries which are members of the European Union it is sufficient to bring a European Health Insurance Card. In case of need this has to be submitted to the relevant doctor. Guests from other countries with which there is a social insurance agreement with Austria can have a care certificate issued from their health insurance in their home country. With this care certificate you can collect an Austrian certificate of illness from the Salzburg Gebietskrankenkasse which can then be submitted to the relevant doctor. In the case of private insurance it is important to check whether it also covers health services in Austria. The Österreichische Gesundsheitskasse offers the possibility of taking out health insurance (individual student insurance and voluntary individual insurance).

It provides important information on the mobility period as well as on the support and requirements of the programme. The current version of the Erasmus+ Student Charter is available HERE. Conditions & Requirements Applicants must be enrolled as regular students at the Mozarteum University Stays abroad can only be completed at a partner institution of the Mozarteum University. Knowledge of the language of instruction at the host university, or good knowledge of English, is required. Students can only participate in a mobility that takes them to a country other than the one in which they are resident during their studies (applicants will be required to provide a “Meldezettel” as proof of their current address). Mobilities sending students to institutions in their country of origin are given the lowest priority. An Erasmus+ grant will only be awarded subject to confirmation by both the partner university and the International Affairs Department at the Mozarteum University. Duration & Conditions of Study Duration Mobilities vary from one university to the next. The minimum length of a study period abroad is two full months, and the maximum length per stay - and within each degree programme - is 12 months. An Erasmus+ study period begun in the summer semester cannot be extended into the following winter semester. Conditions of study Successful completion of relevant classes while registered at a foreign institution Study abroad periods can only be completed through Erasmus+ at institutions that are official partners of the Mozarteum University. Students can specify up to three insitutions of their choice in their application. Applicants should inform themselves about the classes offered at the partner institution and whether these are compatible with the requirements of the curriculum of the degree programme they are enrolled in at their home institution. Practical placements (for one semester, or a two month stay during the summer vacation) Compulsory or elective practical placement relevant to or complementary to studies Student is responsible for making their own arrangements with a business or company; free choice within all countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme NOT possible: EU institutions, EU agencies and EU bodies Graduate internships Participation is possible within the first 12 months after graduation For administrative and funding purposes, it counts as having taken place within the study period of the degree that has just been completed (Erasmus+ grants are awarded for max. 12 months per degree programme) Applications are made before graduation; deadline 6 weeks before completing studies The internship can only begin once the degree is completed and the student has exmatriculated from the university Short term mobilities / Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) Up to five short term mobilities will be authorised per Department, as far as the allocated budget will allow Written permissions must be obtained from the Head of Department Application deadline for the winter semester: 30th June Application deadline for the summer semester: 30th January Combination of actual mobility (foreign travel) + virtual components For students or interns who are not in a position to take part in a long term mobilityVirtual components are compulsory For PhD students and post-doc researchers, virtual components are recommended but not compulsory Grants are awarded for a foreign stay lasting 5-7 days Grants The amount of money awarded through an Erasmus+ grant is determined by the cost of living in the relevant host country. The current amounts per country can be found on the OeAD website. An Erasmus+ grant is intended as a subsidy to cover the additional costs incurred through living abroad, over and above what the student would otherwise be paying at their home university; it is not intended as a full grant. Erasmus+ grants will be awarded subject to the limits of the available budget.Students with additional needs or caregiving responsibilities can apply for additional funding in the form of an “inclusion subsidy”. These top-ups are available to those who need to take their child/ren with them as well as students with a disability or chronic illness. Further one-off top-ups are awarded to those using environmentally friendly transport methods to reach their study destination (green travel). Students receiving regular financial support from the Austrian government (Studienbeihilfe) can apply for additional financial support in the form of a study abroad bursary (Auslandsstipendium). More information can be found here. Assessment & Accreditation Recommended workload: 30 ECTS Points per semester Minimum in order to fulfil the requirements for an Erasmus+ grant: For a stay of up to 5 months: at least 3 ECTS points per month (6 hours per week) 6 to 10 months: at least 3 ECTS points per month (12 hours per weeks) For students enrolled in the programme MA New Music: 12 months in Bern or Dresden: 60 ECTS points (Online) Language Support The Online Language Support (OLS) provided by the Erasmus+ programme will help students as they work to acquire or further improve their language skills. If the main language of instruction at the host institution is available in OLS, students can take part in a free online assessment to gauge their existing language level. Online Language Support.pdf The Department of International Affairs at the Mozarteum University welcomes applications for financial support from those wishing to attend a language course. Students are free to choose a course that meets their individual needs and can attend the course in preparation for their study abroad period. Erasmus+ Application Applications are made to the Department of International Affairs and Cooperations at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, as well as at the applicant's preferred foreign institution (applications can be made to a maximum of three different partner universities). Students interested in completing a period of study abroad should read the comprehensive Checklist carefully to acquaint themselves fully with the application process. The application is made through Mobility Online Checklist for students interested in studying abroad through the Erasmus+ scheme. Application deadlines The following deadlines are applicable for periods of study in the following academic year, regardless of whether the applicant intends to begin their stay in the winter or the summer semester: 15th January 2026: Basel (Switzerland)1st February 2026: Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom Insurance for Mozarteum Students travelling abroad Students travelling abroad through the Erasmus+ scheme or a bilateral agreement are not automatically covered by an insurance scheme. Students are legally obliged to ensure that they have insurance in place to cover them for accidents, illness, or third party liability for the entire duration of their stay. It is important to note that the insurance may not cover any costs incurred fully; it is therefore advisable to take out additional insurance for the duration of the stay abroad. Regardless of the nature of the stay abroad (studying or completing a practical placement/internship), we recommend that students take out insurance to cover the following (if they are not already covered): Health and accident insurance Third party liability insurance Travel and repatriation insurance The Mozarteum University Salzburg is not liable for any consequences suffered as a result of being uninsured or underinsured. Health insurance within Europe Your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which can be found on the back of your e-card, can be used throughout Europe to confirm that you are legally insured for health purposes in Austria. The EHIC is valid in all 27 member states of the EU as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland and the United Kingdom; it can be used in all GP practices and hospitals that have a tender with the public health service in the respective country. It is advisable to take out private travel health insurance in addition to the EHIC, to cover leisure accidents and repatriation to Austria. Please make enquiries with your health insurance provider before you travel, ensuring that you allow sufficient time for arrangements to be made.Health insurance in countries outside of Europe For study abroad periods in countries where the European Health Insurance Card is not valid, medical treatment costs must be paid in the first instance by the patient themselves. As long as your Austrian health insurance is up to date, you can apply for a refund from the Austrian Healthcare Insurance towards the cost of your treatment abroad. The costs will only be refunded partially. We advise you to take out additional travel health insurance, which should also cover both leisure accidents and the cost of repatriation to Austria. Accident and third-party liability insurance As a member of the Austrian Students' Union (ÖH), your ÖH contribution will cover you for accidents and third-party liability for the entire semester. This insurance cover is also valid for both accidents and damage caused to others which occur at the host university or on your way there. We therefore recommend that you take out insurance to cover you for eventualities outside of working/study hours. We strongly advise those completing a period of study abroad to take out (private) travel health insurance including cover for repatriation costs to Austria. Detailed information on accident and third-party liability insurance can be found on the ÖH website under ÖH Insurance.General information on accident and third-party liability insurance for studying and practical placements abroad As a member of the Austrian Students' Union (ÖH), your ÖH contribution will cover you for accidents and third-party liability for the entire semester, including periods spent abroad. In principle, you arve covered for accidents which occur during your studies or practical placement. The third-party liability insurance covers students for harm which they cause to others in direct connection with their studies or practical placement. Detailed information on accident and third-party liability insurance during stays abroad can be found on the ÖH website under ÖH insurance. Your ÖH Insurance is not health insurance!

Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching Purposes (STA) Mobility for teaching purposes: The Erasmus+ programme for Teaching Staff Mobility supports short term teaching stints at partner institutions, which can take the form of a masterclass or a seminar at a partner university. Teaching staff can also gain valuable new insights through exchanging professional knowledge and experiences with their colleagues abroad. This should be seen as an opportunity for professional and personal development. Further aims of the programme are to strengthen ties with partner institutions and encourage future cooperations. This initiative through Erasmus+ makes it possible for students who are not able to take part in a mobility themselves to profit from the expertise of teaching staff from other European universities and to gain international and intercultural competences. Duration: The stay must be between 2 and 7 days and a minimum of 8 teaching hours must be completed. Erasmus+ Staff Training (STT) – for non-teaching university staff Professional Development Mobilities for general university staff: The Erasmus+ Staff Training Programme (STT) offers opportunities for ALL members of university staff to acquire knowledge and professional experience abroad. It is an essential block in the professional development measures at the Mozarteum University. The Mozarteum University supports international networking and the sharing of expertise that it enables in the spirit of "Internationalisation at home".Duration: The Mozarteum University will cover course fees of up to €500, of which €350 must be paid by the relevant department. The Department of International Affairs also supports such training opportunities and will cover the remaining cots of up to €150. The online platform IMOTION staffmobility.eu, provides information about training opportunities for non-teaching university staff and can help you to find appropriate training or job shadowing placements. Mobility for teaching staff within bilateral agreements Teaching staff can also benefit from exchanges with colleagues working at partner institutions outside of Europe. As a rule, it is possible to conduct cooperative projects with most partner institutions as long as the project has been approved by the relevant head of department and the vice rector for teaching. Exchange projects which involve the participation of students are particularly welcomed. Erasmus+ Inclusion Support / Green Travel It is important to us to open the doors to greater mobility for everyone, regardless of their personal or social background. The Erasmus+ programme and the Mozarteum University aim to promote inclusion, diversity and equal opportunities. Anyone wishing to take part in the Erasmus+ programme (students, teaching staff, professional development participants) can apply for inclusion support and are encouraged to submit an application. You can discuss the options for an Erasmus+ application with inclusion support during a consultation with staff from the International Office. For further information on Erasmus+ inclusion support and the application process, please contact the International Office. Further information at erasmusplus.at Details on accessibility and further support measures at European universities: https://inclusivemobility.eu Uniability Working Group The Mozarteum University is a member of Uniability, a working group comprising disability officers, people with disabilities and others, whose aim is to improve study and working conditions at all Austrian universities and higher education institutions and to represent the interests of those affected in the public sphere. Erasmus+ Green Travel Under the new generation of the Erasmus+ programme (2021–2027), sustainable travel is eligible for financial support. If you use environmentally friendly, i.e. lower-emission, modes of transport (e.g. train, bus, carpooling) for more than 50% of the total journey (outward and return journeys combined), you are entitled to a flat-rate travel allowance (Green Travel Top-Up). The parts of the journey for which you use a plane, motorbike or ship, or travel alone by car, are considered non-sustainable and are therefore not eligible for funding. Travel tips New Interrail Pass for Erasmus+ There is now a new Interrail Pass specifically for Erasmus participants, which is particularly attractive for semester-long stays as it includes 4 or 6 travel days within six months. For just over 200 euros, you can flexibly use 4 travel days within six months; for 300 euros, you can flexibly ‘use’ 6 travel days. Helpful websites for international travel connections include The Train Line Nachtzug. On the Nachtzugkarte website, you will find an overview map of night train routes in Europe. The Erasmus by Train initiative also offers tips for your specific travel planning and is campaigning for a free Erasmus+ ticket. Green Erasmus Portal The Green Erasmus Portal was developed by the Green Erasmus project to provide students with specific information on how they can act sustainably before, during and after their Erasmus stay.  Whilst some measures are widely known, other aspects are often overlooked and/or students are unsure exactly how they can make their Erasmus stay more environmentally friendly. Use the portal to find valuable tips and tricks for sustainable living, as well as useful resources for further information and to get involved! Sustainability ”Klimafreundlich unterwegs” from the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology contains information and suggestions regarding mobility that can also be applied to your stay abroad.

Nezhdanova Academy of Music General information International Education Policy at the Mozarteum University In an era of an increasingly integrated European Union, where internationalisation and globalisation are more than idealistic visions and a common European educational area is becoming a reality, educational institutions are called upon to step up and invest further in cooperative projects at both national and international levels. Thanks to its geographical position along the North-South axis, a crossroads of cultures since the 8th century, Salzburg has always maintained close contact with European cities and cultural centres beyond national borders. The idea of a united Europe has a centuries old tradition in Salzburg. Salzburg’s most famous son, W.A. Mozart, undertook tours to cities such as London, Paris, Milan, Naples and Prague, thus enriching the musical life of his home town by introducing cosmopolitan flair. This international mindset continued into the following century with numerous music festivals, reaching a new level with the founding of the Salzburg Festival in the 20th century. Salzburg opened its gates not only to its European neighbours, but to the world, strengthening connections and furthering artistic exchange. Internationality is also woven into the fabric of the Mozarteum University. Students from a wide range of countries take the opportunity to train at an institution that has brought renowned artists from around the globe to its faculty. These teachers not only pass on their skills and artistry with dedication, but also play an active role in cultural life worldwide as artists, teachers and jurors. In doing so, they help build connections with other cultural institutions at both European and international levels, fostering cooperation within the Erasmus+ programme and beyond. Erasmus+ Charter for University Education Erasmus+ Policy Statement Mobility is an inherent aspect of the arts and life as an artist, with its importance reflected in many areas of activity at the university. The Mozarteum University views international mobility as a natural element of academic life. Experiences abroad allow students, early-career researchers, faculty, and non-teaching staff to gain knowledge and develop their skills. The Mozarteum University Salzburg is therefore committed to actively encouraging students and staff to take part in mobility projects, with the aim of making study or work abroad a firmly established norm. Through the Erasmus+ Programme, our institution maintains partnerships across Europe that would not be possible at this scale without EU support. We believe all students, regardless of socio-economic background, should have access to high-quality educational opportunities. The new generation of the Erasmus+ Programme enables the Mozarteum University Salzburg to introduce new incentives for participation in Erasmus+ mobility (including for people from underrepresented backgrounds). The introduction of ‘Blended Mobility’ and short-term mobility options ensures that students who work alongside their studies are also given the chance to experience study and life abroad, and we hope this will lead to an increase in student participation in mobility programmes at the Mozarteum University Salzburg. Internationalisation strategy and Erasmus+ The Mozarteum University Salzburg is already highly international in both its composition and outlook. Our 2,000-strong student body represents more than 70 countries across five continents. The teaching faculty is equally cosmopolitan, with 550 staff members drawn from 38 countries on three continents. During the 2019–2021 performance agreement period, the Mozarteum University Salzburg rose to 11th place in the QS World University Rankings (by subject), up from 52nd place in 2018. The university continues to strive to enhance its international standing and has introduced numerous measures to achieve this. For example, the International Summer Academy at the Mozarteum University Salzburg has, over its 100-year history, built a worldwide reputation, as demonstrated by the large number of applications it receives each year from highly talented musicians. The biennial International Mozart Competition, whose final is regularly streamed by the Austrian national broadcaster ORF, is firmly established among the leading international competitions. In recent years, the Mozarteum University Salzburg has significantly expanded its active participation in key international networks, thereby taking on a role in shaping the global educational landscape in the arts. The Development Plan for 2022–2027 also envisages the introduction of several degree programmes with an international dimension, aiming to further strengthen internationalisation in teaching and learning. System Objective 6 of the GUEP 2022–2027 and Chapter VI of the University Mozarteum Salzburg’s Development Plan for 2022–2027 provide a detailed outline of the vision and strategic directions for internationalisation. The Mozarteum University Salzburg has identified six targets that are closely linked to the Development Plan: Raising the international presence and profile of the university as a whole Continuing the development of degree formats Promoting awareness, discourse, and active participation in shaping international quality standards in research, the advancement and appreciation of the arts, and teaching Mobility as an extension of students’ and teachers’ range of experience Promoting dialogue between cultures Internationalisation at home The ERASMUS+ Programme plays an important role in achieving these goals. The themes of mobility, as well as “dialogue between cultures” and “internationalisation at home,” are reinforced by the programme, since mobility – in the form of bilateral exchanges with partner institutions – also supports on-site internationalisation. The Mozarteum University Salzburg is committed to participating in Erasmus Key Action 1 (KA1) – Learning Mobility of Individuals. Existing forms of mobility should not only continue but be further strengthened (study periods abroad, Erasmus+ mobility for teaching and non-teaching staff). The process will also be increasingly digitised through the introduction of Online Learning Agreements and the European Student Card. The new Erasmus generation also enables the Mozarteum University Salzburg to broaden its range of collaborative projects with global partners and launch new initiatives.  The University Mozarteum Salzburg aims to fulfill the goals of the new programme by taking the following steps: Promoting the use of eco-friendly methods in all activities related to the programme Creating incentives for people from disadvantages communities to participate Implementing the programme's digitalisation methods Encouraging participants to get involved in activities within the wider community before, during and after their stay Goals and purposes For the performance agreement period 2022-2024, the Mozarteum University Salzburg set itself the following goals: Increasing the number of regular students enrolled at the Mozarteum participating in an international mobility programme (outgoing students) Increasing the number of regular students enrolled at international universities being welcomed at the Mozarteum through an international mobility programme (incoming students) Additionally, short mobility schemes for students should be promoted, with the introduction of blended intensive programmes helping to increase the number of student mobilities at the university and enabling students to gain valuable learning experiences abroad. Regular evaluation of mobility activities (both for students and staff) should be carried out to ensure quality control. The partnerships maintained by the Mozarteum University will continue to be reviews regularly. One example of a mobility project currently in development is a project on artistic work with the theme "On the Move", which offers a travel scholarship, a support network and the opportunity to give a presentation at the international Bob Dylan Symposium. In order to support and encourage mobility, the Department of International Affairs underwent a restructuring in 2021, which included the creation of new staff positions. The extension of the regional mapping project, planned for the performance agreement period 2022-2024, into international cooperations is intended to strengthen services, improve the orientation of mobility and enhance the quality of international partnerships. Another meausre in the area of mobility for the 2022-2024 performance agreement period is the relaunch of the Mozarteum University Salzburg website. This will go hand in hand with a redesign of the "International Affairs" section, so that information about mobility and exchange programmes for students and staff is presented in a more intuitive way. An additional goal of this performance agreement period is to advance the internationalisation of teacher training and to increase mobility opportunities for instructors in teacher training programmes.  The Development Plan 2022–2027 will also give details of structural measures that have been conceived to further project-related student mobility that is independent of ERASMUS. Further points for discussion include the development of mobility windows, the structural anchoring of cooperations, the special case of Brexit in the context of university mobility, and the quality management of international activities. With regard to the goal “Internationalisation at Home,” the goals for the performance agreement period, as detailed in the Development Plan 2022–2027, are as follows: Exploring the repertoire of a particular culture in detail Multilingualism in concert performances Cultivating contact with consulates and embassies, providing students for concert performances in order to realise joint cultural programmes Offering courses and access to research findings in the academic field Music and Migration Get in touch Internationales & Kooperationen Jetzt kontaktieren!
