The Advanced Nursing Practice program prepares graduates to tackle complex health challenges. Emphasizing evidence-based practices, students become leaders in nursing. Graduates enter a field with a high demand for advanced practitioners.
This program covers advanced nursing practices, clinical leadership, and healthcare management topics. Students engage in practical training and evidence-based approaches.
The curriculum is divided into theoretical phases and practical phases, spanning four semesters culminating in a thesis.
Graduates will gain competencies in leadership, evidence-based practice, and advanced clinical skills for nursing.

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.
