Frequently Asked Questions

You can use the course finder to search for all degrees and courses. 

The Mozarteum University offers degree programmes as well as various non-degree courses in specialist areas.

The degree programmes include Bachelor's and Master's programmes as well as (occasionaly) diploma programmes in the following areas:

• performance studies (instrumental/voice)
• artistic studies (composition, conducting, stage design, directing, ...)
• instrumental & vocal pedagogy (IGP)
• teacher training prgrammes in the subjects Music Education, Instrumental Music Education, Art Education and Design: Technology.Textile.

Many instruments are taught across all three types of degree programme (instrumental/vocal performance, instrumental/vocal pedagogy and teacher training in Music Education and Instrumental Music Education). Prospective students should choose the degree programme that best fits their intended career. More detailed information on the possible career paths open to graduates of each programme can be found on the respective webpage.

Other courses offered include:

• postgraduate university courses in various performance programmes (instrumental or vocal) and subjects such as conducting or music theory
• courses in Pre-College Salzburg (instrument/voice/composition)
• other courses in specialisms such as wind band conducting, opera pedagogy or children's and youth choir management

It is possible to attend academic and theoretical lectures or classes as an irregular student (by arrangement).

You can find initial information on the webpage of your desired study programme/course by using the course finder. Under Downloads you can find out about the legal regulations as well as details of the respective curriculum.

Yes, in principle it is possible to attend selected classes as an irregular student and, if you wish, to participate in assessments. It is not necessary to pass an entrance exam.

Those seeking to enrol at the university as an irregular student must submit an application to attend individual classes or lectures. However, only academic and theoretical classes/lectures can be chosen, and attendance is only possible if capacity allows. Participation in artistic or practical courses, language courses, composition and aural training is not possible.

To apply, you must complete an application form and submit it to the Department of Studies and Examinations, either in person or by email: studienabteilung@moz.ac.at. You must stipulate in the form which courses you wish to attend and obtain the signatures of the respective teachers.

Once the application has been approved, it is possible to attend the classes or lectures and take the examinations within one semester. Information on the enrolment procedure will be sent to you by e-mail.

Irregular students who attend individual classes or lectures as guest students must pay the Students' Union (ÖH) fee as well as the normal tuition fees (€363.36) per semester, regardless of their nationality.

Information on tuition fees (to be paid per semester) can be found here.

Information can be found at www.stipendium.at or https://grants.at/de/ and under Finance & Scholarships.

Requirements differ depending on the course of study. For all degree programmes and courses, students must first pass an entrance examination to prove artistic aptitude, which usually also includes proof of German language proficiency. For teacher training programmes, applicants must also prove their eligibility to study at university, in the form of a high school diploma.

If you are applying for a master's degree or a postgraduate course, you will also need to have completed the relevant previous studies (a bachelor's degree or master's degree in a suitable subject).

You will find detailed information for each study programme on the respective webpage.

Please note: If you have already obtained a degree from another institution, you are not eligible to enrol for the same programme again at the Mozarteum!
Example: completed degree in BA Violoncello (performance) -> no BA performance in the same instrument possible! However, in this case you could apply for a different bachelor's programme (BA in violoncello pedagogy, BA performance studies in another instrument) or for MA performance in violoncello.

The language of instruction at the Mozarteum University Salzburg is German for almost all programmes. The only exceptions are the master's programme in Applied Theatre and the PhD in the Arts, for which English language skills are required. Information on the required language level can be found here: German & English proficiency

For the postgraduate university courses, no proof of German is necessary; here, only lessons in the principal study are given.

Entrance examinations (auditions) take place once a year only, and for most programmes this is during the summer semester. It is therefore recommended that you start your studies in the following winter semester. If this is not possible for you, deferring the start of your studies until the following summer semester is also conceivable after consultation with the principal study teacher and approval by the university governance. Please inform the university of your intention to postpone the start of your studies during the general admission period at the latest, so that places on the course can be allocated accordingly.

The exception here is the diploma programmes in directing and acting, for which the admissions procedure takes place in winter; studies then begin in the following summer semester.

Yes, you can attend lectures before you start your degree programme. However, it is not possible to attend group or individual lessons in artistic subjects. To be on the safe side, contact the lecturer before your visit and ask whether it is possible to attend the course once to get to know the university.

Attending lectures with subsequent participation in examinations is associated with costs and is only possible with prior consent (an application must be made) and enrolment as an irregular student. You can find more information HERE.

Yes, at individual departments and institutions.

Yes, for example with the ERASMUS programme. Information about the possible mobility programmes is available from the International Office.

If you are already studying at the Mozarteum University Salzburg and would like to participate in a mobility programme, please contact the International Office: international@moz.ac.at

Yes, there are several dormitories for students in Salzburg. For more information, feel free to visit our page "Living in Salzburg", where you can find a list of dormitories as well as plenty of other useful tips!

No. However, for students under 26 years of age, the "Klimaticket Salzburg Student" is available for purchase. 

Yes, there are several so-called "Mensa" restaurants and buffets at the Salzburg university campus. Here, products are mainly provided and prepared by local suppliers. In addition to the Mensa moi'zeit in the main building of the Mozarteum (Mirabellplatz 1), you can also eat at the other locations. Location overview and meal plans: https://www.mensen.at/

Yes, students can take advantage of the offers of the University Sports Institute (USI) at the student rate. The USI offers a wide range of sports for students, university employees and external persons. Timely registration is required for all courses. The current offer as well as further information can be found here.

You can also use the UFZ (USI Fitness Center), where special rates apply.

Please go to the page of the course you would like to apply for in the course finder. In the information about the entrance examination, read all the steps under "Registration for the audition".
After you have read all the instructions, start with step 1. Students who already have an Austrian matriculation number should start with step 3. The Muvac registration portal is linked to the respective step.

The application forms are only visible in Muvac once the application period has opened. Therefore, first check whether the application period has already started.
If this period has not yet started, you must wait until then.
If the application period has already started, search for the course you want in Muvac in the menu (3 lines at the top right) under Search -> Study. If you cannot find it under the name you expect, you can also enter "Mozarteum" or "Salzburg" in the search window there to see a list of all courses for which you can apply.

Please note: There are combined application forms for string instruments, brass, woodwind and percussion instruments, and early music instruments. The instrument is selected in the application form itself.

 If you still cannot find the course you want, contact studieninfo@moz.ac.at.

If you receive a message saying that fully automatic registration is not possible in your case, there may be several reasons for this:

• You have already studied at the Mozarteum and have a student account: in this case, steps 1 & 2 of the application instructions are not necessary. Start with step 3.
• You have already created a basic account in a previous year that is still saved: log in to MOZonline with your previous login details and complete the mandatory UHStat 1 statistics (pre-registration for studies). If you have forgotten your login details, contact servicedesk@moz.ac.at.
• If neither of these two cases applies, it may be due to a technical error. In this case, contact servicedesk@moz.ac.at.

If you have not yet studied in Austria, you cannot have an Austrian matriculation number. Please just leave the field blank! The matriculation number is not required to submit the form.

If you have already studied in Austria, or even at the Mozarteum, and therefore have an Austrian matriculation number, you do not need to complete steps 1 and 2. You can apply for your desired study programme directly in Muvac.

Only Austrian social security numbers can be entered in this field. If you do not have an Austrian social security number, please leave the field blank.

The application number will be sent to you by email after you have completed the mandatory survey UHStat1 (pre-registration for studies).

Yes, you can use your account to apply to the Mozarteum.

If you would like to create a new profile in your existing account, you can add it under "Profiles" by clicking on the +. You can then select in advance which profile you would like to use for each application.

On the Muvac login page, you can reset your password under "Forgot password?" You will then be informed of the next steps by email. If you have any technical questions, please contact support@muvac.com.

When you create your account, Muvac asks you to fill out your profile in as much detail as possible. However, only the following information is required in the profile for the application:

• in the profile details: personal data (title, name, nationality and expertise*)
• in the CV: current employment and an entry under "education"

It is not mandatory to fill out further information in your profile or to add documents.

If you want to apply for several courses through Muvac, it is helpful if you provide as much detail as possible in your CV and upload important documents to your profile. The data and documents can then be transferred to each of your applications, so that you do not have to fill them out or upload them multiple times.

*see next question for explanation

Expertise refers to an instrument or a specific artistic field, for example recorder, soprano, conductor or costume. Each course is assigned one or more areas of expertise.

You can only apply for a course if you have specified the necessary expertise in your profile. It is possible to specify as many areas of expertise as you like. You can add a new area of expertise to your profile at any time in order to be able to apply for a course.

If you click on the rabbit symbol (top left above the list) in the list of open courses in Muvac, you will see all the courses that match your areas of expertise. You can also specify in your account settings whether you would like to be notified by email when a new course is advertised that matches your expertise.

Open Muvac and, if necessary, log in again. You should be able to find the application you have started under "Applications". It is possible that your last entries were not saved. In this case, you will have to fill out the relevant parts of the application again.

The application video cannot be uploaded during the application process. After we have processed your application, you will receive an invitation in Muvac to provide a video. Your intention to proceed further with the application process must then be confirmed by 20th March, at which point you will be able to upload your video.

You can still change your video up until the submission deadline.

If you do not confirm your participation in the video round or upload your video, your application will not be considered and will result in your status being set as "did not participate". In this case, the application process would end for you at this point.

The audition programme does not need to be specified when applying. As soon as your application has been processed (or when you have passed the video round), you will receive invitations in Muvac to all parts of the entrance exam that you are required to complete. You must then confirm that you will attend the audition by the date shown (usually 2-3 weeks before the audition). When confirming your participation, you must also specify the audition programme. You can also indicate there whether you need an accompanist.

You can still change your details until the registration deadline.

At the end of your application, you will see the "Submit application" button.

If you click this, your application will be sent to the university. You will then receive an automatic confirmation email notifying you that your application has been received.

If you refresh Muvac or log in again, you can see all your applications and their status under "Applications".

You can edit your application until the application deadline. To do this, log in to Muvac and click on "Applications" in the menu. There you will find a list of all your active applications and their currenty status. You can view your application again by clicking on it. If you are still within the application period, you can make changes using the pen symbol and then save them.

After the application deadline, you can no longer change your details.

You can withdraw your application yourself within 2 hours of submitting your application. To do this, click on Applications in the menu and select the application you want to withdraw. In the header there is a button ("Withdraw") that shows you the period within which you can still withdraw the application yourself. Click on this and follow the instructions.

You will no longer be able to withdraw your application yourself in Muvac at a later date. In this case, write a message in your application and ask for your application to be cancelled. Your application will then be rejected by the Mozarteum, so that you will not receive any further notifications and will no longer participate in the process.

If you have already received an invitation to upload a video or attend an audition, it is sufficient to cancel your participation in either of these steps in Muvac. The application process will then be discontinued and your application will be disregarded.

Your application was deleted when you withdrew it and cannot be restored. However, as long as the application period is still open, you can create a new application by clicking on "Apply now" and repeating all the steps in Muvac.

Yes, in principle, multiple applications are possible. Please note that you cannot apply to both Mozarteum locations (Salzburg and Innsbruck) at the same time.

You may need to adjust the expertise in your Muvac profile.

If you would like to apply for several instruments in the same application form, but multiple selection is not possible, apply for one of the instruments first, then contact studieninfo@moz.ac.at; we will then inform you about the further process.

There are no registration fees for any of the Mozarteum's courses and programmes. Participation in the admissions process is free of charge.

No. For all degree programmes at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, an entrance examination to determine artistic aptitude must be passed.

Yes, the general university entrance qualification (high school diploma) is only required for the teacher training programmes (Art Education, Design:Technology.Textiles, Music Education and Instrumental Music Education). For all other degrees and courses, the deciding factor is your artistic aptitude and a general university entrance qualification is not required.

Yes, even if you are already studying elsewhere, you have to take the entrance examination at the Mozarteum. In the application form you can indicate that you have already started your studies at another university and would like to continue them at the Mozarteum University Salzburg. Please upload the Transcript of Records from your current studies in the application; credits that you have already obtained can then be at least partially recognised and you will be able to commence your studies in a higher semester rather than starting from scratch.

The number of places is limited and depends mainly on the free capacities of the teachers in the principal study. These vary depending on the number of graduates in the current year. If not enough prospective students pass the entrance examination, places might remain free and not be allocated again until the following year. The admissions situation therefore changes annually.

There is a fixed number of places in the Diploma Programme in Acting, where 10 new students can be admitted per cohort.

The percentage of successful applications varies greatly depending on the study programme, therefore no general statement can be made. For some courses, only 3-10% of the applicants receive a place, while in other courses it can be over 80%. Quantitatively, the competition is particularly high in the diploma programme in acting as well as in the bachelor's and master's programs in piano and voice. In the teacher training programmes, on the other hand, a large proportion of applicants pass the entrance examination. Here too, however, there are clear differences between the individual artistic majors.

What is certain is that only those who take the entrance examination can be admitted to the programme. Therefore, feel free to register, even if you are unsure whether you will pass the exam. In the worst case, you will have gained important experience through your participation, which will increase your chances in the next application procedure.

The audition requirements as well as information about other parts of the entrance examination are usually updated on the page of the respective degree programme around the start of the calendar year.

If the current information is not yet available, you can read through the requirements of the past admission procedure in advance. These will give you a good insight into what is expected of candidates, since the requirements usually change only slightly, if at all.

Yes, in principle it is possible to apply for several degree programmes at the same time. Please note, however, that double applications for the same study programme in Instrumental/Vocal Pedagogy (IGP) at the two different Mozarteum locations (Innsbruck and Salzburg) are not possible.

If you are offered places on multiple courses, you are free to decide how many of the places you accept, as long as the courses are taught at the same site. It is not possible to be enrolled at the Mozarteum locations in Innsbruck and Salzburg at the same time!

If you pass the entrance examination, you are entitled to enrol in the semester immediately following the exam, possibly with additional conditions that will be communicated to you when you receive your notification. 

If this is not possible for you, deferring the start of your studies until the following summer semester is also conceivable after consultation with the principal study teacher and approval by the university governance. Please inform the university of your intention to postpone the start of your studies during the general admission period at the latest, so that places on the course can be allocated accordingly.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to save up the study place for a later enrolment; the examination expires after one year. Therefore, if you do not take up your place in time, but still want to study at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, you will need to participate in the admissions procedure again.

Example: Entrance examination in summer 2025 -> start of studies in winter semester 2025/26 or defer and begin studying in summer semester 2026; new examination necessary for winter semester 2026/27.

The registration period for most entrance exams (performance studies) is from February 1st to 28th. The application for pedagogical studies as well as Pre-College is from 1st February to 28th March.  Exceptions are the diploma programmes in Acting and Directing (November/December). Dates are published before the start of the registration period and can be found here.

The dates and deadlines must be approved every year. The new dates are published as soon as they are confirmed. This is usually the case in mid-December. Please be patient if you cannot find the new dates yet. The dates and deadlines for all courses will be published by the beginning of the new year at the latest.

Applications are made via the online portal Muvac. 

Once we have approved your application documents, you will receive invitations to the individual parts of the exam in Muvac.

Different documents are required depending on the type of course you are applying for. The documents to be submitted are listed on the webpage of the respective programme.

After submitting your application, you will receive an automatic confirmation of receipt. The university will then check your documents, a process which takes around 4 weeks. If your documents are complete, you will receive all further information about the next steps in Muvac. If any documents are missing, we will draw your attention to this and ask you to supply the documents as soon as possible.

You can find out whether an application video is required for your desired study programme on the respective web page.
While the requirement for video submissions varies across the performance programmes, neither the instrumental/vocal pedagogy programmes nor the teacher training degrees require an application video.

The relevant information is updated annually. Therefore, to be on the safe side, check back during the application period to make sure you have the most up-to-date information.

The application video must be uploaded to Muvac as soon as you receive the invitation to the video round. Further information on the technical requirements can be found here: Application Video

You can change the content of your application and remove/upload documents until the end of the application period. After that, processing will be blocked for all applicants.

In case you need to submit additional documents, we will ask you to send them by email.

After we receive your application, you will receive an automatic confirmation by email.

Once we have approved your documents and ensured that nothing is missing, you will receive an invitation from us in Muvac to participate in the video round (if applicable) or to attend the individual partial exams on-site. Please let us know within the time frame specified whether you will participate in these parts of the application process, otherwise your application will be discontinued.

If the examination dates and locations are not specified on the course page or in the exam schedule, you will be informed the respective departmental secretary as to when and where you should be on the day of the examination. The contact address for queries can be found on the course page.

The exact time schedules are usually announced on the day of the exam itself, with lists of candidates being displayed on notice boards on site. 

All parts of the entrance examination take place on-site in Salzburg; online participation is not possible. Only individual parts of the examination (video round and ZOOM interviews, if applicable) do not require your attendance in person.

Your audition in your Principal Study must take place on the date specified in all cases. In exceptional cases, some of the other partial examinations can be taken in another week, if capacity allows. If you have reasonable grounds for taking an exam on an alternative date, please contact studieninfo@moz.ac.at in advance.

Participation in the examination in the Principal Study is required in all cases.

The examinations in Music Theory and Aural Skills, as well as Compulsory Piano/Harpsichord, can be waived for those enrolled in certain Bachelor's programmes at the time of the entrance examination, and for those who have graduated from a specific Bachelor's programme within the last three years. Which courses this applies to is regulated in the respective implementation guidelines of the individual degree programmes.

Information on German language proficiency can be found here: German & English proficiency
If you have already proven the required level for your previous studies, no new proof needs to be submitted.

Study achievements can generally not be used as a substitute for parts of the extrance examination. Official recognition of academic achievements (credits) for the entrance examination is NOT possible.
 
For reasons of fairness and for comparative purposes, all applicants must take part in all partial examinations. The only exceptions are Mozarteum students in certain fields of study - these exceptions are regulated in the implementation guidelines of the respective degree programme.

Passed partial examinations of application procedures at other universities can also NOT be recognised by the Mozarteum in lieu of participation in our admissions procedure.

In your online application, you can indicate that you need a confirmation of registration to apply for the visa. You will then receive a conditional admission notice with an official signature from us by e-mail, which will allow you to take the entrance exam.

After you have passed the entrance exam, you can request a confirmation of having passed the entrance exam and being admitted to the Mozarteum University Salzburg, which can be used to apply for the student residence permit. If you begin the visa application process while still in your own country, this confirmation will enable you to take care of the subsequent steps in the visa procedure more easily upon reaching Austria.

Please bring a valid photo ID or passport to the exam.

No. Those whose first language is German do not need to bring any proof. For all others, the point in your studies at which the relevant languate level must be proven, along with a list of the certificates and qualifications that are accepted, can be found here: German & English proficiency.

Notification is generally made by e-mail. The results of the video round are expected to be communicated by the end of April, the results of the entrance examination usually within 1-2 weeks. In individual cases (e.g. changes in the faculty) there may be delays. If you still have not received feedback after 3 weeks, please feel free to contact us via email.

Unfortunately, rejections cannot be avoided due to the number of applications and in no way mean that you lack the necessary talent. Take the experience you have gained during the admissions process with you to continue working on yourself. Feel free to reapply next year - you may find that the admissions situation is quite different!

Teacher Training Courses

If you have applied for a teacher training programme and completed the general admissions procedure, but failed the artistic exam at the Mozarteum, you have the option of enroling to study a different teaching subject at an institution in the respective regional partnership ("Cluster") before the end of the admission period.

• Central Regional Partnership
• Western Regional Partnership

You can then make a start on your teacher training degree, with an alternative second subject, and register for the artistic exam at the Mozarteum again in the following year. Should you pass the artistic exam second time around and be admitted to teacher training studies at the Mozarteum, you can continue your studies in all three subjects or drop one of the subjects in favour of your new arts subject.

There is no official waiting list at the Mozarteum University Salzburg. However, if there are more applicants at the appropriate level than places available, a waiting list is sometimes created. If a successful candidate declines the place they are offered, the next person on the waiting list will be offered the place instead.

You will find out whether there is a waiting list for your desired study programme and whether you are listed there in the email notifying you that you passed the entrance examination. You will then be informed immediately should your admission situation change (by September 30 at the latest).

You can accept the place within the general admission period (until September 5 in the winter semester or until February 5 in the summer semester) . In exceptional cases, enrolment is also possible until October 31 (winter semester) or March 31 (summer semester). However, we would appreciate an early response as to whether or not you will accept your place in order to be able to plan better.

There is no requirement for you to officially inform us of your decision to declinea place you have been offered. However, we appeal to your sense of fairness to let us know as soon as possible after receiving the offer if you do not wish to take up your place, so that we can offer it to prospective students on the waiting list if necessary!

If you do not enrol in time, your place will be forfeited. In order to be admitted the following year, you would be required to repeat the entire application process, including the entrance examination.

Entrance examinations (auditions) take place once a year only, and for most programmes this is during the summer semester. It is therefore recommended that you start your studies in the following winter semester. If this is not possible for you, deferring the start of your studies until the following summer semester is also conceivable after consultation with the principal study teacher and approval by the university governance. Please inform the university of your intention to postpone the start of your studies during the general admission period at the latest, so that places on the course can be allocated accordingly.

If you neither enrol during the general admission period nor have arranged with the university for a later start of studies, your place will be forfeited. In order to begin studies at the Mozarteum University Salzburg the following year, you would be required to repeat the application procedure, including passing all parts of the entrance examination.

You can enrol during the admission periods at the Servicepoint, Mirabellplatz 1 or at the office of the Department of Studies and Examinations, Makartplatz 5, 3rd floor. The opening hours are Mon-Fri, 10:00-12:00.

To reduce waiting times we recommend arranging an appointment by contacting studienabteilung@moz.ac.az.

Pre-registration can be completed online and instructions can be found here.

In the e-mail confirming that you have been offered a place, you will be informed which documents are necessary for enrolment. As a rule, these are a valid passport/ID card (original + copy), the completed registration form (available under Downloads), proof of German & English proficiency (if applicable) in the original version + copy, as well as the final certificates of previous studies if relevand for admission to your course (original + copy, possibly translation). The certificates must comply with the certification regulations.

Tuition fees are due each semester and must be paid no later than 31^st October (winter semester) or 31^st March (summer semester). However, please note: It will take approx. 3 working days for the payment to be registered! Only then you are officially registered in MOZonline for the semester and the respective study programme. This registration is the basic prerequisite for being able to sign up for classes, so please be sure to transfer the fees early enough to be able to register for classes in time. The beginning and end of the current registration period can be found here.

You will receive your student ID card when you enrol (see "When and where can I enrol?"). However, it will only be valid once your payment (ÖH fee; if applicable tuition or course fee) has been registered. You should therefore take care of the payment immediately after enrolment!

When pre-registering for your course (basic account), you can upload your own photo. If you do not have one available, we will take a photo of you free of charge when we create your ID card (upon enrolment). It is not necessary to bring a passport photo.

• Booking of practice rooms, for which it serves as a key
• Access to some Mozarteum buildings
• Library card for the university library
• Copy card (loading money for printing and copying via the "Moneyloader" in the main building)

In addition, some Salzburg stores and pubs offer discounts to those with student ID. Whether it's a bar, bakery, cinema...: show your card and ask for a student discount!

Link to MOZonline

Three days after enroling in your course at the university, you can activate your student account here. You will receive all the necessary information and the PIN code when you enrol. After that, you can always log in here using your matriculation number (username) and the password you set yourself.

Yes, all students automatically receive their own university email address (MOZ-mail) once they have activated their account. The login details are identical to those for MOZonline. You can access your e-mails via Microsoft Outlook.

Please note: For data protection reasons, as soon as your MOZ-mail address has been activated, you must use this email address only for all enquiries and communication with staff and faculty members.

Please check your mailbox regularly - emails from the Mozarteum University Salzburg will only be sent to the MOZ-mail address!

If you want to pursue a teaching degree in the Central Region Partnership, it is only necessary to enrol at PLUS. Approximately 4 working days after payment of the ÖH fee and, if applicable, the tuition fee, your data will be transferred to us. Then you will be issued with a PIN code to activate your account in MOZonline as well as a student ID card from the Mozarteum. Both of these can be obtained from the Servicepoint or the Department for Studies & Examinations.

Dates and deadlines for the current and following semesters can be found here.

Your student ID card also serves as your library card. You will be given your student ID upon enrolment.

You will find a detailed overview of the courses to be taken including recommendations of when to take them (which semester) in the curriculum.

In MOZonline you can also view a semester plan, where the courses you need to fulfi the curricular requirements of your degree programme are arranged in a recommended order. To access this view, log in to MOZonline. Open student files and click on the curriculum version. Now click on semester schedule. Note that free electives are listed separately in this overview because they do not have a semester recommendation.

Yes, you must decide for yourself which courses you want to take each semester.

The deadlines for registering for courses can be found in the semester dates. 

You can register for courses yourself in MOZonline within the registration period. Log in to MOZonline. Open the student file and click on the curriculum version. You will now see the Curriculum Support for your programme. Click on the individual modules to view the courses. Click on the course you wish to view. If there are multiple instructors to choose from, select the one you want and register on your own.

If you do not want to/are unable to attend a course despite prior registration, or if you have already missed 3 dates in the current semester, please deregister IMMEDIATELY, no later than the end of the registration period, as falling short of the minimum attendance of 80% is considered an examination drop and will be graded as a fail. To deregister, send an email from your MOZ email address with your name, matriculation number, study, course title, instructor and the subject "LV-Abmeldung" to: lehrmanagement@moz.ac.at

Course registration after the deadline is not possible. Without timely registration in Mozonline, no courses can be taken and thus no certificates can be issued.

If did not enrol at the university until after the end of the course registration period, please contact the secretary's office at your department.

Attendance of at least 80% is compulsory for courses that result in imminent assessment (i.e. at the end of the semester). Courses that do not result in imminent assessment do not have compulsory attendance. Whether a course results in imminent assessment or not can be seen in the course description in MOZonline. A good rule of thumb is: lectures do not result in imminent assessment but all other courses do.

The curriculum is issued by the responsible Curriculum Committee and the Senate in the form of an ordinance, and forms the legal basis of your studies . In addition to the qualification profile, the curriculum contains the necessary admission requirements, the content, the duration and the structure of a study programme. The curriculum also contains the examination regulations. All curricula of the Mozarteum University Salzburg are available on the university website on the page of the respective degree. 

The curriculum provides information about

• the courses to be completed (e.g. compulsory subjects, electives, free electives) together with the course types, hours per week (SWS) and ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System)
• the examinations to be completed (e.g. courses with imminent assessment, performance exams with a panel of examiners, final examinations such as bachelor's, master's or diploma examinations, viva voce examinations), and the examination regulations.
• the written work to be completed (bachelor's, master's, diploma theses, dissertations),
• the recommended number of credits to take per semester

Depending on the curriculum, compulsory subjects, electives and free electives are defined:

• compulsory subjects are courses that are mandatory for graduation and must be taken by all students in the programme, in accordance with the curriculum.
• Electives (or compulsory electives) are courses that are mandatory for graduation, but can be chosen from a pool of courses (e.g. elective list in the BA in performance). The type of electives to be taken, and the number of credits, is specified in the curriculum.
• Free electives are courses that are mandatory for the degree, but can be chosen completely freely (as long as there are no restrictions in the curriculum). The number of credits to be taken is determined in the curriculum. In principle, all courses offered at a domestic or foreign recognised post-secondary educational institution (e.g. university, college, recognised conservatory, etc.) can be taken as free electives, provided there is no restriction on the number of participants or special admission requirements have to be met.

Note: All courses taken outside the Mozarteum University Salzburg must be officially recognised (= angerechnet) in order for them to be credited for your study programme at the Mozarteum.

The courses offered in the respective semester of all curricula are recorded online in the courses offered by the Mozarteum University Salzburg. In addition to information such as the title, type and content of the courses, you can also find information on the respective lecturers, locations and dates, as well as registration and examination modalities.

Students must register for courses themselves at the beginning of each semester via MOZonline. The registration deadlines, as well as instructions for correct registration, are sent out each semester to the Mozarteum e-mail addresses of all students: (firstname(s).lastname(s)@stud.moz.ac.at)

If you experience any problems with your MOZ-mail account, please contact the service desk of the Mozarteum University Salzburg: servicedesk@moz.ac.at

Courses (Lehrveranstaltungen = LV) must be completed in accordance with the curriculum, i.e. in accordance with the specifications for LV title, LV type, hours per week (Semesterwochenstunden = SWS) and ECTS points set down in the respective curriculum, and with the lecturers specified and assigned for this in MOZonline.

This ensures that the requirements specified for the degree are met, that the courses offered are used efficiently, and that incorrect registrations are avoided. Only if registration conforms to the curriculum will the courses be correctly displayed in MOZonline and the ECTS points you earn upon completeing the course be assigned according to the curriculum.

Registering on time for courses, as well as checking that you are registered for everything you need at the beginning of the semester and ensuring that grades have been issued at the end of the semester, is your own responsibility as a student!

The following applies to all students (with the exception of the Diploma Programme in Conducting, Pre-College Salzburg and Irregular Studies (Außerordentliches Studium = AO):

No. Undergraduate students are not permitted to bring forward courses/modules of the Master's programme. Bachelor's and master's degrees are independent degrees, whereby the master's degree builds on the material and competencies acquired in the bachelor's degree, serving to expand or deepen them. Therefore, those who have not yet obtained their bachelor's degree do not fulfil the prerequisites for registering for modules/courses from the Master's programme. Any examinations taken when not registered for the respective degree programme are entirely null and void.

Inform the teacher of the course.

In the case of courses which will be assessed imminently (at least 80% attendance required), the instructor is responsible for checking attendance. If you are unable to fulfil the attendence requirements, and there are justifiable reasons for your absences (in particular illness, care of children or other relatives), the instructor may request appropriate proof.

You can find the payment information for the students' union (ÖH) and tuition fees in MOZonline under "Tuition Fees".

The payment information for non-degree courses can be found here.

In MOZonline you can download the following documents:

• Studienblatt (record of studies)
• Studienbestätigung (confirmation of enrolment)
• Studienzeitbestätigung (confirmation of academic semesters completed)

You will find them under the menu item "Enrolment Documents".

In addition, it is possible to download a transcript of records under "Transcripts".

Positively assessed examinations and other academic achievements, activities, qualifications (such as academic, artistic and professional activities) shall be recognised pursuant to § 78 UG as long as there are no significant differences with regard to the competences (learning outcomes) acquired. This applies to, for example, recognition of courses and examinations taken at a recognised post-secondary educational institution or e.g. recognition of internships and artistic/academic/educational activities completed at institutions and facilities outside the university). If a Mozarteum student wishes to complete parts of their studies abroad, it must be determined in advance which of the examinations and other assessments that they intend to take at the partner institution will be recognised (e.g. recognition of Erasmus stays).

The following applies to the recognition of examinations, other academic achievements, activities and qualifications:

• Recognition is granted upon application by the student.
• The recognition of examinations, other academic achievements, activities and qualifications already completed before admission to the Mozarteum must be applied for by the end of the second semester at the latest!
• The documents necessary for the assessment must be attached to the application by the applicant. Recognition will be granted by decision of the body responsible for study matters (at the Mozarteum University by the Director of Studies) within two months of receiving the application.
• The recognition as an examination is deemed to be the taking and passing of the examination prescribed in the curriculum in the study programme for which the recognition is given.
• Recognised examinations, other academic achievements, activities and qualifications will be indicated with the designation "recognised", including the number of ECTS points as required by the curriculum for the examination or other academic achievement.

For enquiries, information and forms, please contact the Department of the Director of Studies/Bologna Process by e-mail: anerkennung@moz.ac.at

The entire recognistion process, including review of the documents, clarification and issuance of the recognition, takes 6-8 weeks from the submission of the application including all complete documents. Application will be processed in the order in which they were received. The notification will be sent to the MOZ-mail address, and the decision will be stored in the student file in MOZonline.

In addition to the application form, the respective individual certificates (or a complete overview of subjects and grades/transcript of records) including information on the course title, examination date, examination grade, hours per week (SWS) and ECTS points, as well as an official description of the respective course, must be submitted.

It has the necessary infrastructure and legal know-how to solve problems of individual students as well as to address general student concerns with the authorities.

The ÖH Mozarteum is the first point of contact for students for all questions and problems concerning their studies.

In Austria, there are no independent "examination regulations".

The provisions for the conduct of examinations can be found in the study regulations of the statutes as well as in the curriculum and the implementation guidelines of your study programme.

There will be a placement test in the first class session. Be sure to come to this test. This is to establish whether the course you have registered for is the right level for you.

With your registration, you have a guaranteed place in the course. The following rules apply to the German courses:

• You may be absent a maximum of 6 times during the semester, but you are obligated to re-learn the missed material yourself.
• If you are absent more than 6 times, you will automatically be excluded from the course.
• If you arrive later than 15 minutes after class begins or leave earlier than 15 minutes before class ends, you will be considered to have missed the entire class.

To continue a course in the next semester, the following rule applies: You must have positively completed the previous course or passed the placement test.

Further information can be found on the information page for language skills.

Pursuant to § 67 UG 2002, students are to be granted leave of absence (upon application) for one or more semesters per occasion on the following grounds:

• Completion of military, educational or civilian service
• Illness that demonstrably prevents progress in studies
• Pregnancy
• Childcare obligations or other similar care obligations
• Completion of a voluntary social year
• Temporary impairment in connection with a disability
• Serious reasons that hinder studies

The application for leave of absence, including all required documents, must be submitted no later than the beginning of the semester for which the leave of absence is required (01.10. or 01.03.), or in the case of unforeseen and unavoidable occurrence of the reason for leave of absence, also during the semester. The (deputy) director of studies decides on the application for leave of absence. The decision on the leave of absence will be sent exclusively to the MOZ e-mail address.

The leave of absence is valid for all studies at the educational institution to which the application was made, or, in the case of joint study programmes, also for the partner institutions. During the leave of absence, the admission to studies remains valid. No tuition fee is to be paid, but the ÖH fee (students' union fee), including the insurance contribution, is to be paid. The current transfer data, including payment reference, can be accessed via MOZonline (business card).

Please note: If no payment is made by the end of the registration period (31.10. or 31.03.), you will be automatically exmatriculated by the system. (Note: In case of leave of absence after 30.11. or 30.04. (upon request for unforeseeable and unavoidable reasons), no refund of the tuition fee already paid will be made due to the advanced semester)

Students receiving study grants should contact the student grant authority to inform themselves in detail before taking a leave of absence, as students on leave of absence from their studies are not entitled to study grants. The completed application form must be handed in at the Service Point (in Innsbruck at the secretary's office) or by e-mail to: anerkennung@moz.ac.at
