The Doctor of Medicine (MD) program focuses on providing a comprehensive understanding of medical sciences, practical clinical skills, and ethics in healthcare. It is designed to prepare students for a professional career in medicine, emphasizing patient interaction and effective treatment strategies. Graduates are well-equipped to work in various medical fields, including surgery and internal medicine.
The program covers topics in human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and various medical disciplines. A strong emphasis is placed on clinical training and hands-on experience in hospitals.
The MD program is structured over twelve semesters, which include theoretical coursework, practical placements, and internship opportunities. Students must complete a thesis as part of their graduation requirements.
Graduates possess a strong foundation in medical knowledge, clinical skills, and ethical understanding. They are trained to diagnose and treat patients effectively and work collaboratively within healthcare teams.

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.
