MedUni Vienna is offering support to Ukrainian students to help them gain a foothold in the university environment in Austria and to continue their studies even during the war in their homeland. There are several ways for refugee students to do this - depending on their prior knowledge of their subjects, language skills, and personal goals:
- Temporary admission to degree courses within the framework of a mobility programme
- Admission to degree courses with the possibility of completing their studies at MedUni Vienna as a "lateral entrant"
- New entry onto the medicine or dentistry degree course (from WS 2022/23)
- Temporary admission to non-degree studies
- Pre-study course with intensive courses to prepare for supplementary exams (German, biology, chemistry, physics).
MedUni Vienna is waiving the tuition fee for the 2022 summer semester for Ukrainian students (Ukrainian nationals and third-country nationals who were displaced from Ukraine as a result of the armed conflict as from 24 February 2022, and who previously studied at a Ukrainian university). Ukrainian students who have already paid the tuition fee for the 2022 summer semester can apply for a refund.
They will be required to prove their Ukrainian citizenship by means of a Ukrainian passport or certificate of nationality. Third-country nationals must present an ID card for displaced persons.
