Medical University of Innsbruck·Molecular Medicine
Master of Science (Molecular Medicine)
The Master’s programme in Molecular Medicine offers a comprehensive education in modern molecular-oriented life sciences. It spans four semesters and includes both mandatory and elective modules to deepen students' knowledge and skills in various aspects of molecular medicine. The program prepares graduates for advanced roles in medical research and industry.
Courses cover topics such as oncoscience, infection and immunity, neuroscience, and molecular diagnostics. Students also engage in practical laboratory work to solidify their understanding of theoretical concepts.
The program consists of four semesters with a mix of mandatory and elective modules. A Master’s thesis is undertaken in the final semester, requiring completion of coursework beforehand.
Graduates acquire extensive knowledge in molecular medicine, advanced research skills, and are prepared to engage in scientific research and development in various fields including biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

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.
