FH Salzburg·Health Studies
Bachelor of Science in Health Studies (BSc) + Berufsbefähigung
The Bachelor program in Midwifery at FH Salzburg prepares students for a fulfilling and challenging career in supporting families during childbirth and beyond. The curriculum encompasses all aspects of prenatal care, labor assistance, postnatal support, and infant care, focusing on a holistic approach to health. Graduates will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills, enabling them to provide high-quality care and support to mothers and their families throughout critical life phases.
Students explore topics such as human biology, midwifery skills, and maternal health, with a strong focus on supporting families through pregnancy and childbirth. The program also covers ethical challenges and professional conduct in midwifery.
The Bachelor program is structured into thematic blocks over six semesters, with a strong practical component throughout. Students will engage in seminars, reflexive practices, and internships to enhance their learning experience.
Graduates will acquire extensive knowledge in midwifery, including counseling skills, high self-awareness in professional practice, and the ability to collaborate effectively with healthcare professionals. They will be equipped to respond flexibly and professionally in various situations.

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.
