Medical University of Graz·Medical Sciences
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Molecular medicine is evolving into a key scientific and clinical discipline aimed at unraveling disease causes and mechanisms through state-of-the-art technologies. This doctoral program addresses challenges in molecular medicine and inflammation, offering innovative research opportunities and a robust teaching program that equips students with the necessary knowledge and skills.
The program covers advanced topics in molecular medicine, particularly focusing on inflammation and its role in disease. Students engage in research exploring cellular responses and therapeutic approaches for various health conditions.
The doctoral program is structured over six semesters, combining formal education with extensive research. PhD candidates conduct projects, culminating in a thesis that contributes to the field.
Graduates acquire a comprehensive skill set in molecular medicine, including state-of-the-art research techniques, data analysis, and problem-solving abilities essential for careers in academia and healthcare.

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.
MedUni Graz trains doctors and dentists at the LKH-Universitätsklinikum Graz and runs research-focused doctoral programs in biomedical science.
