The Master's programme in Midwifery Sciences emphasizes a holistic approach to midwifery training, focusing on birth as a significant life event. Throughout the four-semester course, students will engage with theories of physiology and salutogenesis, while also addressing practical research aspects. It aims to strengthen the health potential of both mother and child through comprehensive education and support during childbirth.
The curriculum covers essential midwifery topics such as physiology, stress management, and research methodologies in the context of childbirth. Additionally, it addresses community health and family care.
The program is organized into teaching blocks spread over four semesters, including both theoretical coursework and practical training. The strong emphasis is placed on research and evidence-based practice, culminating in a master's thesis.
Graduates will gain competencies in midwifery care, research skills, and the ability to support families through the childbirth process. They will also be equipped to contribute to the development of midwifery practices based on current evidence and health theories.

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.
