Following any course of study at the Anton Bruckner Private University requires successfully passing an entrance exam. The high-school diploma (Matura) is not a requirement for a Bachelor course.
To be accepted for a Master programme you need a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification.
Applicants with a non-German mother tongue must prove a sufficient mastery of the German language.
The entrance examination for a Bachelors course in music consists of two parts: a theoretical exam (music theory and ear tests) and an practical/artistic exam (instrumental or vocal audition).
There is also an entrance exam (performance or pedagogical) for the Master programme.
These examinations take place in June or September, depending on the institute.
Dates for admission examinations are to be found under the respective institute in menu Entrance and Admission examinations.
An online registration is required. Please register here: Online-Registration.
