Medical University of Vienna·Applied Medical Sciences
Master of Science (MSc)
The Doctoral Studies in Applied Medical Sciences program emphasizes practical applications of medical research and techniques. Students collaborate on interdisciplinary projects and gain experience in real-world medical environments. The program is designed to equip graduates with the skills necessary to translate scientific knowledge into practical healthcare solutions, enhancing their professional careers in medicine and research.
The program focuses on advanced knowledge in applied medical sciences, encompassing key areas such as biostatistics, epidemiology, and the application of medical research methods. Students will engage with topics related to public health, medical informatics, and clinical research.
The degree is organized over several semesters, combining coursework, research, and practical experiences. Students will complete a thesis as part of their final assessment along with mandatory internships in relevant fields to enhance their practical skills and academic knowledge.
Graduates will gain a comprehensive skill set that includes critical thinking, quantitative analysis, and research methodologies tailored for the medical field. They will be equipped to apply their knowledge in diverse health-related scenarios, implementing evidence-based approaches.

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).
