 Apart from the "classic" universities, which offer a wide variety of disciplines, there are a number of specialist universities as well as a university centre for postgraduate education.
Since January 1st, 2004 the former Medical Faculties have been detached from the universities and have become separate universities in Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck.
Austria's six universities of the arts offer programmes in music and drama or in the
visual arts and design.

The contents, goals, structure and duration of offered courses are determined by the universities, which are responsible for the individual curricula and can provide information on these opportunities. Upon the completion of postgraduate university courses academic titles such as Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) or Master of Business Administration (MBA), among others, may be conferred.
