Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna

It was established in 1938 as Musikschule der Stadt Wien. The school attained university status on 15 June 2005, as a private institution.

The courses of study at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna offer an opportunity to attain highly qualified artistic and/or music teaching credentials. They form the basis for independent artistic and/or teaching activities, and through the critical examination of artistic, didactic and academic issues contribute to research in and performance of the arts.

The vital relation between research, teaching and practice is secured by numerous events organized by the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna independently and/or in cooperation with distinguished cultural institutions as well as by the national and international artistic activities of lecturers and students. In conscious perception of the academic and non-academic environment cooperation deserves considerable significance.
