The Doctoral Study UN790 is designed for students aiming to excel in applied medical sciences. It emphasizes practical research skills and integrates theoretical knowledge to tackle real-world medical challenges. Participants will work closely with supervisors to support their individual research projects.
Participants will study various aspects of applied medical sciences, including methodologies, clinical practices, and patient care. Emphasis is placed on practical experience and the translation of research into practice.
The program spans six semesters, with a combination of coursework and research phases. Students will engage in hands-on experiences through internships and clinical placements, culminating in a thesis.
Graduates will be well-versed in practical applications of medical research and skilled in data collection and analysis. They will be competent in addressing healthcare challenges through scientific inquiry.
Periods can differ for EU/EEA and non-EU applicants. Always confirm on the official site before applying.

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).
