The four-semester master's degree programme in organ is modular in structure. A module is the combination of teaching and learning content into thematically and didactically meaningful units of study. The designations and content descriptions (study objectives) of the individual modules as well as the number of ECTS credits to be achieved for each module and the type of performance assessment are specified in the curriculum. The module descriptions refer to the corresponding learning outcomes and competencies. The Master's program is a face-to-face programme and cannot be offered - not even in parts - as a distance learning program. The courses from the Central Artistic Subject (ZKF) as well as the other Individual Artistic Instruction (KE) are designed to build upon each other. Prerequisite for enrolment in courses from the ZKF or KE in each semester - with the exception of the first - is a positive evaluation of the previous semester.
Admission to the master's degree program in organ requires the completion of a relevant bachelor's degree program (BA) or another equivalent programme at a recognised Austrian or foreign post-secondary educational institution (e.g. university, college) (§ 64 Abs. 3 UG 2002).
In addition, a prerequisite for admission to the degree programme is the successful completion of the admission examination. For this, an online application is first required, during which the necessary documents are checked. Only after the completely submitted documents have been checked will an invitation to the admission examination be issued.
