The Master in Biomedical Engineering blends engineering principles with medical sciences to produce innovative healthcare solutions. Students engage with cutting-edge technologies, specializing in areas such as medical imaging and prosthetics. This interdisciplinary approach prepares graduates for a pivotal role in advancing medical technology and improving patient care.
Students study topics including medical robotics, bioengineering principles, and tissue engineering. The curriculum covers essential engineering aspects in the context of healthcare and medical technologies, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both disciplines.
This program is organized over four semesters, with a mix of theoretical and practical phases. Students engage in projects, labs, and lectures, culminating in a master’s thesis with applied research in biomedical engineering. Internships may also be included to gain industry experience.
Graduates will be equipped with a robust set of competencies related to biomedical engineering, including technical expertise, analytical skills, and an understanding of medical applications. They will also develop the ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams addressing healthcare challenges.

Non-EU / third-country rate. Always confirm on the official site.
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.
