The Bachelor's Degree Programme in Molecular Biology provides a solid education in chemistry, biochemistry, and general biology with a focus on microbiology and cell biology. The program emphasizes practical laboratory skills and theoretical knowledge, enabling students to work on real-world issues in various applications such as biomedicine, genetic engineering, and biotechnology. Graduates are well-prepared for further studies or careers in the field.
The program covers fundamental knowledge in sciences, principles of chemistry, biological sciences, microbiology, cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry. Students also acquire laboratory skills and explore genetic engineering and biotechnology applications.
The program is organized into 6 semesters, with a combination of lecture-based courses and practical laboratory sessions, emphasizing hands-on experiences. A strong integration of theory and practice is maintained throughout the curriculum, preparing students for real-world applications.
Graduates will possess competencies in molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry, equipped with practical laboratory skills. They will also develop social, media, and international skills necessary for working in interdisciplinary teams.

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.
