University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Molecular Medicine
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's in Molecular Medicine program focuses on advanced understanding of molecular processes in health and disease. It encompasses research techniques for studying disease-related dysfunctions. Graduates are well-prepared for careers in research, biotech, and pharmaceuticals.
The program covers topics like molecular signaling pathways, genetic engineering, and therapeutic developments. Students engage in hands-on laboratory work to apply theory to practice.
The program is organized into four semesters, including lectures, practical lab work, and a master's thesis. Students may also complete internships at partner institutions.
Graduates gain competencies in molecular research methodologies, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills applicable to medical advancements.
Periods can differ for EU/EEA and non-EU applicants. Always confirm on the official site before applying.

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.
