University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Medical Physics
Master of Science (MSc)
The MSc in Medical Physics focuses on applying physics concepts in the medical field. Students engage in theoretical and practical coursework, preparing them for roles in healthcare technologies. This program fosters collaboration with medical professionals and emphasizes hands-on experience in clinical settings.
Students will study advanced concepts in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and health physics. Emphasis is placed on practical applications of physics in clinical environments alongside relevant regulatory and safety practices.
The program consists of four semesters, including lectures, hands-on laboratory sessions, and a master's thesis. Students will also complete clinical internships to gain practical experience in medical settings.
Graduates will possess in-depth knowledge of medical physics applications, effective communication skills for interdisciplinary settings, and the ability to manage advanced medical technologies. They will be well-prepared for certification and entry into various medical physics roles.

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.
