University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Evolutionary Systems Biology
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's program in Evolutionary Systems Biology explores the integration of evolutionary theory with biological systems. The curriculum is research-focused, enabling students to innovate in areas such as genetics, ecology, and evolution. Graduates often move into research or advanced industry positions.
This program covers topics like evolutionary genomics and systems biology, focusing on the integration of genomic data and biological processes. Students will explore themes such as genetic variation, evolutionary mechanisms, and the computational tools used to analyze complex biological systems.
The curriculum is structured over four semesters, with a combination of theoretical courses and practical modules. A significant component involves a thesis project that allows students to conduct independent research, supported by internships or collaborative projects.
Graduates will develop competencies in data analysis, bioinformatics, and the application of systems biology concepts. They will gain skills in critical thinking, research methodology, and interdisciplinary collaboration, preparing them for roles in academic and industry settings.

EU/EEA students, within the standard study period (plus the ~€25 ÖH student union fee per semester).

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.
