University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Human-Animal Interaction
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)
The Master's in Human-Animal Interaction emphasizes the interrelationship between humans and animals across various contexts, including therapeutic and educational settings. This program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of animal behavior, welfare, and ethical considerations. Graduates are prepared to work in research, various therapeutic environments, and animal-assisted activities.
The program encompasses a comprehensive study of veterinary medicine, focusing on animal health, disease prevention, and treatment methodologies. Key areas include anatomy, pharmacology, and surgical techniques necessary for diagnosing and treating various animal species.
The curriculum is organized into six semesters, each including a combination of theoretical courses and practical training. Students are required to complete an internship in a veterinary practice and a thesis project in their final semester.
Graduates acquire essential skills in veterinary diagnostics, treatment planning, and clinical practices. They develop competencies in animal care, ethical considerations, and effective communication with pet owners and animal-related businesses.

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.
