AN INTERNATIONAL AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY MASTER PROGRAM
at the University of Salzburg in cooperation
with the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Austria.
For more details please visit
<http://www.w-k.sbg.ac.at/ma-cp>http://www.w-k.sbg.ac.at/ma-cp.
Applications and all the supporting documents
for the 2011/ 2012 academic year must be received by
January 30, 2011; in case spaces are still
available late applications will be accepted by April 30, 2011.
The MA in Cultural Production is a 2,5 year
program, and all the sessions are held in
English language. It is open to local and
international students. The program is part time
and consists of 5 semesters with blocked
sessions held in Salzburg. The
trans-disciplinary curriculum is laid out at the
intersections of art practice, cultural and
communication studies, and a social science
approach to economy. Cluster topics in relation
to Space & Location, Vision & Change and
Networks & Decentralisation allow for
specialisation in one of the central fields of
cultural production. Depending on personal
interests, students will propose their own
project ideas, which will be further developed
and implemented in their contextual complexity
throughout the program course. The MA program
also includes a 3-week internship, individual coaching and a Master thesis.
Selected lecturers are (amongst others):
Hildegund Amanshauser, Jens Badura, Annette
Baldauf, Ute Meta Bauer, Diedrich Diederichson,
Elisabeth Klaus, Monika Mokre, Carmen Mörsch,
Nicky du Plessis, Evangelia Psychogiopoulou.
The program tuition is 2500 EUR per semester.
Each semester must be paid in advance. Partial Scholarships are offered.
Taking into consideration that students of the
2011/ 2012 academic year will need time to
prepare their travel logistics, such as
receiving the appropriate visa, finding housing
in Salzburg, and possibly applying for
additional fellowships, the admission process
will be carried out in two phases:
*Phase 1: Starting December 15, 2010 you may
apply for the MA in Cultural Production. The
program will start in October 2011. The
applications will be accepted until January 30,

to the program by February 20, 2011.
* Phase 2: If spaces are still available, more

2011. You will be confirmed of your acceptance to the program by May 20, 2011.
