About
The Institute for Coaching & Career combines teaching, workshop, course and coaching offers that support students in their physical and mental health, teach the basics of self-management and support the transition from university education to the working world.
The offers not only show how to successfully and healthily assert oneself in one's profession, but also what paths can be taken and what doors are open to one with one's own degree.
In addition to the curricular teaching, lectures, workshops and courses are offered every semester with experts from the cultural sector, business and health care on topics that help students successfully pursue their individual artistic careers.
Individual projects, personal goals and own topics can also find support within the framework of coaching offers.
All employees and alumni of the university also have the opportunity to take advantage of the offers in the areas of "Self Marketing", "Body and Soul" and "Artist as Entrepreneur". Some courses can also be credited as "free electives".
With external experts from the cultural sector, business and health care, the Career Centre, as part of the Institute for Coaching & Career, offers a new selection of lectures, workshops and courses every semester that students can attend to complement their study plan. The focus is on the three areas of "Self-Management - The Brand I", "Artist as Entrepreneur" and "Body & Soul - Health at Work".
In order to be able to actively participate in the offers of the Career Center, a written registration must be sent to career@moz.ac.at. Only after written confirmation does the registration become a fixed place.

Musicians' health at the Mozarteum University
For most people, practising music is not just a profession, but a vocation, and it demands continuous physical and mental peak performance. Tension, pain, posture problems, but also mental stress such as stage fright and performance anxiety often arise and make playing and performing a challenge.
With various offers, most of which are anchored in the curriculum, the Mozarteum University also supports a long-term physically and mentally healthy career for students.
With experts from the fields of medicine, psychology, bodywork and physiotherapy, the main focus is on prevention. The students are educated about prevention possibilities, informed about ergonomics, physiological and anatomical basics and are also taught how to deal with mental challenges such as stage fright with appropriate exercises.
The focus is always on maintaining health and well-being in order to prophylactically counteract and sustainably prevent typical musicians' illnesses.

Applying for a job is not a walk in the park for anyone. But if you add to this the fact that you are not only responsible for yourself, but also for children or family members in need of care, the pressure becomes even greater and the reconciliation of work and caring duties presents those concerned with a great challenge. For this reason, the Family Service of the Mozarteum University, in cooperation with the Department for Family Affairs of the ÖH Mozarteum, offers individual counselling sessions especially for students with caring responsibilities, in order to advise, strengthen and support them in their performance at job interviews.
Individual questions can be discussed, such as how to deal with work and caring responsibilities, how to position oneself vis-à-vis the employer and how to strengthen one's own appearance. In addition to collecting ideas for possible jobs, the topics for the individual interviews can also include specific role plays for the job interview, support tips for drawing up a budget, or advice on designing a CV.
When: The appointments take place in the form of individual discussions and are arranged with the mentor.
Where: online or in person, as desired

Organised by the Alumni Network of the Mozarteum University, the mentoring programme for career entry is aimed at both students in the final phase of their studies and graduates.
Within the framework of the mentoring programme, students (mentees) have the opportunity to ask the mentors questions in individual discussions on the topics of career entry, self-organisation and marketing, stays abroad, concrete job descriptions, opportunities on the labour market, information on professional practice, stress management and much more. It is a learning process in which an experienced person passes on their informal, professional knowledge to a person at the beginning of their career, points out paths, answers questions, advises on specific topics and gives feedback.
The mentors themselves have successfully completed their studies at the Mozarteum University, can look back on several years of professional experience and are happy to pass on their experience to students and graduates. However, they are not "job mediators" or personality trainers and do not offer ready-made solutions. It is about working out paths and perspectives together. The placement of mentors is subject to availability, individual and specific to the degree programme. The duration of the collaboration is agreed upon individually between the mentoring partners (mentor and mentee). Cooperation over several weeks and months is recommended.
