Academic Requirements – Applicants must hold a recognized Bachelor's degree in a relevant field. If the degree is from a non-German-speaking country, a certified translation is required. Some programs may require specific coursework or prior experience in the field.

Language Proficiency – Most programs require a minimum B2 level in German (ÖSD, Goethe-Zertifikat, or equivalent). Some Master’s programs, particularly in film and contemporary music, may accept English proficiency (TOEFL or IELTS) if the program is taught in English.

Additional Courses – If applicants do not fully meet subject-specific requirements, they may be asked to complete additional coursework or preparatory classes before full admission.

Application Process – Students must submit an online application within the university's admission period, including academic transcripts, proof of language proficiency, and other required documents. Selected candidates will be invited to take the entrance examination, which may include auditions, interviews, or portfolio reviews, depending on the program.
