University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Evolutionary Systems Biology
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's program in Evolutionary Systems Biology integrates evolutionary principles with molecular biology, focusing on the development and adaptation of biological systems. Students will explore the complexities of evolution through research-oriented projects, preparing them for careers in academia and industry. Graduates will possess a comprehensive understanding of biological diversity.
In the Master program of Evolutionary Genomics and Systems Biology, students explore a wide range of topics including genomics, evolutionary processes, and systems biology methodologies. The curriculum emphasizes the integration of biological data with advanced computational techniques to understand complex biological systems.
The program is structured over four semesters, culminating in a master’s thesis that involves original research. Students typically engage in theoretical coursework in the first semesters, followed by practical applications and project work focused on real-world challenges in the final semesters.
Graduates of this program develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with competencies in bioinformatics, data analysis, and interdisciplinary research. They are equipped to contribute to advancements in both academic and applied sciences.
No tuition
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.
