The Master's Degree in Nursing Science focuses on advanced nursing practice and the development of leadership skills in healthcare contexts. The program emphasizes evidence-based practice, research methodologies, and critical thinking skills necessary for professional nursing. Graduates are prepared for a variety of roles in nursing leadership, education, and research, contributing to improved patient care and health outcomes.
Students study advanced nursing theories, research methodologies, and healthcare management principles. The curriculum includes a clinical component where students apply their learning in real-world healthcare settings.
The program is organized across four semesters, culminating in a master's thesis and practical internships. Each semester involves intensive coursework and research activities that allow students to deepen their knowledge in nursing science.
Graduates gain competencies in clinical leadership, research, and the application of advanced nursing practices. They are trained to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams within various healthcare environments.

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.
