The Diplomstudium Zahnmedizin focuses on preparing students for a career in dentistry. The curriculum integrates scientific knowledge with practical training, enabling students to develop the skills necessary for clinical practice. It includes diagnostics, treatment planning, and execution in dental care.
The program covers essential topics in dentistry including oral biology, dental materials, and clinical practice. Emphasis is placed on patient care, diagnosis, treatment planning, and preventive dentistry.
The curriculum is organized into several phases that include theoretical coursework and practical training. Students engage in clinical internships and complete a final thesis to demonstrate their competencies.
Graduates acquire critical skills in dental diagnosis, treatment provision, and patient management, along with hands-on experience in clinical procedures. They are also trained in ethical and legal aspects of dental practice.

Non-EU / third-country rate. Always confirm on the official site.
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.
