TU Wien·Biomedical Engineering
Master of Science (MSc) in Biomedical Engineering
The Master's program in Biomedical Engineering combines engineering principles with medical sciences. It is structured to enhance students' understanding of healthcare technology and its applications in medical practice. The curriculum is interdisciplinary, offering pathways in medical imaging, biomaterials, and rehabilitation engineering. Graduates are prepared for diverse careers in healthcare technology, research, and product development.
The curriculum blends engineering fundamentals with medical applications, focusing on biomaterials, medical imaging, and signal processing. Students also explore innovations in health technology and device design.
The program is divided into four semesters with theoretical courses, practical labs, and project work. A significant component is the thesis, which typically involves original research or project development in biomedical engineering.
Graduates acquire expertise in both engineering techniques and medical applications. They enhance their analytical and technical skills, enabling them to develop innovative solutions in healthcare technology.
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.
