ADMISSION

 

For your first registration ever with the MedUni Wien, you need to fill in the online pre-registration “Studierenden Voranmeldung”  (don’t forget the password you set!) and provide the following forms and documents:

See here for the two forms “Application for the admission” and “Concept of the doctoral thesis”, as well as below in the same page, the list of personal documents needed for the admission: https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/en/studies-further-education/application-admission/phd-and-doctoral-programmes/

Concerning the form “Concept of the doctoral thesis”: note that this form needs to be filled by you together your supervisor, as some planned project details need to be indicated and the supervisor needs to sign it, too.

All documents must be provided in English or German and may need an authentication. Note that if your documents were not issued in English or German originally you need to have them translated by a certified translator and then authenticated. See the detailed information on the translation and authentication of documents in the MedUni link mentioned above, under “Documents and Authentofication”. The kind of authentication always refers to the state in which the document was issued. So if you lived and studied in different countries you may need different authentications for the single documents.

 

ENROLMENT

 

After the MedUni has processed your application you will receive the official letter of approval and the tuition fee payment information. You need to go to the Students Admission Office personally with this letter of approval and proof of payment to finalize your registration. You can also pay the tuition fee directly at the Students Admission Office – but only with a MAESTRO bank card (no cash, no credit cards).

Congratulations! You are now a PhD student at the Medical University of Vienna!
