University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Mensch-Tier-Beziehung
Master of Arts (MA)
Das Masterstudium Mensch-Tier-Beziehung beschäftigt sich umfassend mit den Interaktionen zwischen Menschen und Tieren und deren Bedeutungen für beide Seiten. Der Studiengang fördert die Entwicklung von Interventions- und Trainingstechniken zur Förderung des Tierwohl.
This program investigates the psychological, social, and ethical facets of human-animal interactions. It aims to deepen understanding of how these relationships can be supported in therapy and community settings.
The organization of the program includes interactive seminars, workshops, and a thesis. Students will participate in practical experiences to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.
Graduates will develop competencies in analyzing and fostering positive human-animal dynamics. They will be equipped to address welfare and therapeutic approaches to improve lives for both species.

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.
