This Bachelor's program in Midwifery focuses on the life phases of pregnancy, birth, postpartum care, breastfeeding, and family formation until the child's first birthday. Students will engage in high practical components, prepare for midwifery responsibilities, and develop close relationships with families. The program aims to train students for a fulfilling career in healthcare.
Students study topics related to midwifery, health promotion, and essential skills for working with women and families during pregnancy and early childhood. The program emphasizes practical experience alongside theoretical knowledge.
The program is organized over 6 semesters, combining academic coursework with practical internships. Students participate in hands-on training in various midwifery settings and complete a thesis.
Graduates are equipped with competencies in midwifery care, health promotion, and can work independently as midwives in different healthcare environments. They also develop critical thinking and professional communication skills.

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.
