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 IŽm 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.

I was going to save up for a strictly nonacademic traveling experience, but if a university in one of these countries (_especially_ IEM) would be at a lower cost than NYU or CM, I would definitely consider it.
hm - I don't know if I understand you correctly, but you mean the costs for the study? They are in austria ca. 370? for one semester !
Did you take into account that foreigners may have to pay more than citizens?
e.g., for a semester in any Montréal university (UdeM/polytech/HEC, UQÃM/ETS/ESG, Concordia, McGill, etc.) it costs:
1200 CAD ( 840 EUR) if you're from anywhere in Québec 2400 CAD (1680 EUR) if you're from anywhere else in Canada 7200 CAD (5040 EUR) if you're from anywhere else in the world.
those prices may be wrong, e.g. it could very well be other values, but I think that the rule of thumb is that in general the government pays 2/3 of the price if you're Canadian and 5/6 if you're Québécois, and that's how I computed those example prices. Last time I checked the prices, it seemed to fit.
