Medical University of Vienna·Sleep Coaching
Master of Science (MSc)
The master’s program “Sleep Coaching” provides essential knowledge about sleep and sleep disorders, qualifying students to offer counseling and consulting services for individuals facing sleep challenges. It emphasizes non-drug approaches for treating non-restorative sleep, focusing on psychological and behavioral techniques. The program features a flexible structure suitable for working professionals.
The curriculum covers the interdisciplinary study of sleep sciences, including theories, treatment methods, and practical approaches to support individuals with sleep difficulties. Emphasis is placed on behavioral and cognitive techniques relevant to sleep coaching.
This Master's program spans 6 semesters, combining theoretical knowledge and practical experiences in a part-time format. Students engage in internships and complete a thesis that addresses real-world sleep-related issues.
Graduates gain advanced expertise in sleep coaching, equipping them with the skills to design and implement effective sleep interventions. They become proficient in counseling strategies aimed at improving clients’ sleep quality.

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.
One of Europe's most storied medical schools, MedUni Vienna runs Austria's largest medical degree program alongside research-driven PhD schools, based at the Vienna General Hospital (AKH).
