Medical University of Innsbruck·Medical Imaging
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This program emphasizes the integration of medical imaging techniques for diagnosis and therapy. PhD candidates will conduct original research in imaging modalities, data acquisition, and analysis. The degree equips graduates with valuable expertise for roles in clinical practice and medical technology innovation.
Students study various imaging technologies and their clinical applications in the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. They engage in practical training and research methodologies pertinent to medical imaging.
The program includes theoretical coursework, practical research projects, and dissertation writing. Candidates are expected to contribute original research findings and participate in collaborative projects with healthcare professionals.
Graduates will gain a comprehensive understanding of medical imaging principles and hands-on experience in clinical research, making them competitive for career opportunities in healthcare and academia.

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.
