The Master's program in Medical Informatics focuses on the integration of information technology in healthcare and medical research. Students learn to manage, analyze, and improve health information systems, aligning IT solutions with patient care and clinical research needs. The curriculum includes hands-on projects and exposure to cutting-edge technologies. Graduates can pursue careers in healthcare IT management, software development, or research roles.
In the Medical Informatics Master's Programme, students explore topics including bioinformatics, neuroinformatics, public health informatics, and clinical informatics. The focus is on the integration of IT solutions in the biomedical research domain and healthcare, addressing practical and clinical problems.
This program is structured over four semesters, encompassing mandatory and elective courses totaling 120 ECTS. Students engage in various phases including coursework, a diploma seminar, and complete a master's thesis, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications.
Graduates will possess core competencies in informatics with a focus on biosciences and healthcare. They will have the skills necessary for designing and implementing IT systems in collaboration with both technical and medical professionals.

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.
