Registration Deadline at Medical Universities Starts Early March
The demand is particularly high in medicine. Interested parties can apply from March 3rd for one of the 1,900 study places for human and dental medicine at the medical universities in Vienna, Innsbruck, and Graz, or at the medical faculty of the University of Linz via the website www.medizinstudieren.at.
Medical University of Vienna with 772 Places
In medicine, the registration deadline is March 31st, and the nine-hour admission test will take place simultaneously at all locations with identical tasks on July 4th. A participation fee of 110 euros is required. This time, 772 places are available at the Medical University of Vienna, 420 in Innsbruck, 388 in Graz, and 320 in Linz. In human medicine, at least 95 percent of the study places are reserved for EU citizens, with at least 75 percent for applicants with an Austrian high school diploma. Last year, over 15,000 people applied for one of the 1,900 places.
This time, 85 human medicine places are also dedicated to "tasks in the public interest for federal states." Interested parties must commit to working in a hospital, health insurance practices, the army, or the police for a certain period after completing their education. In return, they receive a scholarship from partner institutions (federal states, Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Ministry of the Interior and Defense) and only need to achieve 75 percent of the total points of all applicants in the admission test.
March as an Important Month
Registration for the admission procedure begins next Monday, not only in medicine but also in teacher training programs, for bachelor's programs at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), and for restricted-access programs at the University of Vienna and the University of Graz. At other universities, registration starts as early as Saturday, March 1st. Universities across Austria have the option to restrict access in subjects such as architecture, biology and biochemistry, educational sciences, foreign languages, computer science, economics, pharmacy, journalism, and law. Additionally, there are subjects that are overcrowded at individual universities. At the University of Vienna, as the largest university in the country, about 21 programs will have restricted access next year. Universities generally use multi-stage admission procedures. However, if there are fewer applicants than places, the admission test may be waived.
