University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Genomics
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's Programme in Evolutionary Genomics and Systems Biology provides students with a comprehensive understanding of complex biological systems through the lens of genomics. This program emphasizes research and data analysis, enabling students to contribute to advancements in biology and medicine. Graduates find positions in research and biotechnological companies, focusing on innovative solutions in genetics.
The Master's Programme in Evolutionary Genomics and Systems Biology focuses on understanding genetic variability and interactions within biological systems. Key topics include evolutionary theory, genomics, and computational biology, providing a comprehensive overview of how biological systems evolve and function.
The program is organized across four semesters, accumulating a total of 120 ECTS credits. It includes nine compulsory modules, culminating in a master's thesis and a thesis defense.
Graduates of this program will develop competencies in genomic analysis, data interpretation, and systems biology. They will also gain skills in critical thinking and advanced research methodologies applicable in evolutionary studies.

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.
