The Bachelor program in Midwifery prepares students with comprehensive knowledge in medical sciences and essential skills for maternal care. The curriculum includes theoretical classes alongside practical training in various health settings. Graduates are equipped for roles in hospitals, community health, and educational settings while adhering to ethical guidelines in healthcare.
Students will study topics including maternal and child health, psychosocial care, and practical midwifery skills. The focus is on both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in clinical settings.
The program is organized into phases that combine lectures, practical instruction, and internships. Students complete a thesis in their final semester, showcasing their learning and practical skills acquired throughout the course.
Graduates develop competencies in midwifery care, effective communication, health promotion, and critical thinking necessary for professional practice. Skills in interprofessional collaboration and practical experience are emphasized throughout the program.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
