University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Medical Physics
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)
The Bachelor of Science in Medical Physics program emphasizes the application of physics concepts in medicine. It covers the principles of medical imaging and the use of radiation in therapy. Students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology and are prepared for further studies or entry-level positions in healthcare settings.
The program focuses on veterinary medicine, encompassing subjects such as animal biology, clinical practices, and public health. Students engage in a comprehensive study of veterinary sciences, with an emphasis on practical skills and theoretical knowledge related to animal health and welfare.
The degree program is organized into multiple phases over several semesters, including both coursework and practical training. A thesis component is required, along with internship opportunities that provide hands-on experience in veterinary clinics and related environments.
Graduates of the program develop competencies in diagnosing and treating animal diseases, conducting research, and applying ethical standards in veterinary practice. They are skilled in communication with pet owners and working collaboratively within the veterinary community.

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