Medical University of Innsbruck·Molecular Medicine
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master of Molecular Medicine program focuses on the molecular and cellular bases of health and disease. It provides advanced knowledge and practical skills in various biomedical fields, facilitating a deep understanding of the mechanisms of diseases. Graduates can pursue careers in research, clinical laboratories, or pharmaceutical companies, bridging the gap between science and clinical practice.
The curriculum covers in-depth subjects related to molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry, with a strong focus on research methodologies and statistical analysis. Students are prepared for leadership roles in biomedical research and industry.
The program spans two years with a combination of coursework and an extensive research project, culminating in a master’s thesis. Internships may also be included to enhance practical experience.
Graduates will be equipped with advanced knowledge and practical skills in molecular medicine, enabling them to contribute to innovative research and development in 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 Innsbruck is the medical hub of western Austria, offering medicine and dentistry degrees plus PhD programs tied to the Innsbruck university clinics.
