Eligibility

The Salzburg Academy is designed for students who are highly motivated explorers, both personally and academically. We seek students who are willing to be engaged in a challenging, new environment for three weeks.

Applicants should have at least a 3.0 (B) academic average and the approval of their academic advisor. All students who meet the admission requirement and can demonstrate keen interest in global media and policy are welcome to apply.

IMPORTANT: Admissions for the program are made on a rolling basis, and decisions will be given in a timely manner. Early application is advisable. Meeting the minimum GPA requirement alone is insufficient to guarantee admission. All required materials will be considered during the admission process.

Please be aware that decisions will not be made on a daily basis, so you should expect a delay between when you submit an application and when you receive notification.
