At AMADEUS International School Vienna, we cultivate curiosity, creativity, and more importantly, a global perspective. As an IB World School, AMADEUS prepares students not just for university, but for a future where they can lead with purpose and passion.
Each year, our graduates go on to study at top universities and conservatories around the globe, from Berklee College of Music and the Savannah College of Art and Design to University College London (UCL) and the University of Hong Kong. Our international community, diverse academic pathways, and personalised university and careers support make sure that every student has the tools they need to thrive.
Tailored Support for Global Success
University preparation at AMADEUS is highly individualised. Our students receive guidance on course selection, career exploration, and university application strategies from as early as Grade 6 through to Grade 12. Our dedicated university and careers counsellors work closely with students and families, helping them navigate applications to destinations that range from the United States and the United Kingdom to Austria, Germany, Japan, and Canada. Over 95% of our graduates receive offers from their top three universities.
Each year, we organise events such as Career and University Fairs, which connect students with industry professionals, university representatives, and alumni, offering valuable insights into a wide range of academic and career opportunities. We also provide guidance on university visits, including those organised with our school community.
“AMADEUS ensured that all of us were not only academically successful, but also happy and healthy. While learning was strongly encouraged, we were also given the freedom to rest, spend time with friends, and explore Vienna. In addition, counsellors, teachers, and boarding staff were always open to having conversations and offering help whenever we needed it.” – Darya Burlutskaya (Alumni 2022 – Currently studying at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU))
Specialised Pathways in Music and Art & Design
AMADEUS is proud to be the only school in Austria to offer the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) in both Music and Art & Design. These pathways are designed for talented young artists who wish to pursue their creative passions at the highest level while gaining a rigorous academic foundation.
Our CP Music students benefit from world-class instrumental training, masterclasses, and performance opportunities. Many go on to study at conservatories such as the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna or Los Angeles College of Music. Meanwhile, CP Art & Design students build professional portfolios, explore contemporary visual practices, and prepare for further study at world-class institutions.
“The CP programme allowed me to explore more about the world of music. It has not only expanded my understanding of the music itself but also how the music industry works. This programme has been a great platform for personal growth, constantly challenging me to push my limits and explore my full potential.” – Yiyang (Elvis) ZHANG (Alumni 2025 – Currently admitted to the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW))
From Vienna to the World
Living and studying in Vienna, AMADEUS students benefit from integrating to a German-speaking country at the crossroads of Central Europe. For many families, this offers an appealing alternative to studying in the UK or US, where shifting political climates, rising tuition fees, or immigration restrictions may bring unnecessary challenges. German-speaking countries such as Austria, Germany, and Switzerland offer world-class education, more affordable or even tuition-free public university options, and student-friendly visa policies.
Universities like LMU Munich, ETH Zurich, Heidelberg University, and the University of Vienna are not only internationally ranked, but also increasingly attractive to IB students from around the world. With Vienna’s rich cultural life, safe environment, and multilingual opportunities, students are well-placed to access both local and international universities.
At AMADEUS, we believe education is not just about where you come from, it’s about where you’re going. With our strong foundation in the IB and the support of a passionate learning community, AMADEUS graduates are equipped to make their mark wherever in the world they choose to go.
