University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna·Human-Animal Interaction
Diplom in Veterinärmedizin
The Master's program in Human-Animal Interaction explores the emotional and psychological impacts of animal companionship on human well-being. The program combines theoretical frameworks with fieldwork to analyze human-animal relationships. Graduates can work in therapy, education, and community outreach settings, focusing on improving human-animal interactions.
Students in this program explore a diverse range of topics within veterinary medicine, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Key themes include animal health, disease prevention, and the latest veterinary technologies.
The program is organized across multiple semesters, combining lectures, hands-on practical training, and research opportunities. Students also have to complete an internship and a thesis in their final phase.
Graduates acquire essential skills in veterinary diagnostics, treatment planning, and animal care. They also develop competencies in critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication within the field.

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.
