University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Biomedical Sciences
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The Bachelor's program in Biomedical and Biotechnology focuses on the intersection of biology and technology, equipping students with essential skills in research and application. It covers various disciplines within biomedical sciences, providing a comprehensive understanding of biotechnological advancements. Graduates can expect to pursue careers in pharmaceuticals, research, and clinical laboratories.
The curriculum emphasizes biotechnology applications in healthcare and research. Students study molecular biology, microbiology, and genetic engineering, among other topics. Practical laboratory work is an integral part of the program.
The program is structured over six semesters, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on laboratory experience. It culminates in a thesis project focused on a specific area of interest. Students may also have opportunities for internships.
Graduates will possess strong analytical and laboratory skills, enabling them to conduct research and apply biotechnological principles. They will be prepared for roles in various fields related to biomedical sciences.

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.
Vetmeduni Vienna is Austria's only veterinary university, covering veterinary medicine, biomedicine, and equine science on a dedicated campus in Floridsdorf.
