Tuition Fees

The tuition fees at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna are ― thanks to the support of the City of Vienna, which provides a subsidy of € 25,000 per person and study programme, clearly below those of internationally comparable institutions.

In addition, there are a number of ways to finance your degree through grants and bursaries. More Information here.

The tuition fees are index-linked to the Austrian Consumer Price Index 2020 published by Statistics Austria. The starting value is the value of the consumer price index 2020 for February 2025 (127.1). A change in the index figure of up to 3% is not taken into account. If this limit is exceeded, the entire change will take effect in full. The index adjustment is announced by 31 May of each year at the latest and applies from the winter semester following the announcement. The tuition fee resulting from the index adjustment is rounded down to the nearest 10 EURO.
