[PD] OT: Computer music grad school

[Marius Schebella]

I think for Austria it is EUR 726,72 per semester for students from non 
EU contries (with exceptions - for nationalities from poor countries it 
is free). things are changing slightly every year.
for art universities there is a restriction to a certain number of study 
places, which means you have to make an entrance examination. most 
students contact their major professor before.
and your undergrad will probably not be accepted, because Austria has no 
real undergrad studies like B.A., you mostly finish with a magister 
(M.A. equiv.). this may also change in the future and is already now 
changing. all this is very different to GB and US, because there you can 
rely on undergrads from whatever university and also work experience, 
and you could still join a master course (correct me if I´m wrong).
The question is, which university to recommend in Austria... the IEM in 
Graz is a part of the Technical Unniversity. you will study sound 
engineering or something technical to have courses there.
In Vienna there is the "University for Music and performing Arts" and 
the "Angewandte". I think they show Pd once to students, but do not 
teach it (thomas grill teaches there). still, some students work with Pd.
In overall, there are not many (about 2400, tendency downwards) students 
from the US in Austria.

marius.
