The University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna pays attention to the equal treatment of all qualified applicants regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, world-view, age, or disability. 

The University is particularly interested in increasing the percentage of women working in the artistic, scientific and general university personnel ranks. It therefore expressly encourages qualified women to apply.

The mdw is committed to the continuous development and improvement of working conditions for artistic and academic staff as well as recruiting. For these efforts, the university was awarded the HR Excellence in Research label by the European Commission.

It should be specifically mentioned, however, that applicants who are invited to the audition will not receive remuneration from the university for incurred travel and hotel expenses.
