Why study Biomedicine and Biotechnology?

• Personal attention
  The limited number of places ensures close interaction between students and faculty with excellent student mentoring.

• International setting
  Some 90 percent of students gather experience abroad at renowned educational institutions (e.g. Harvard, Cambridge, Yale, Glasgow, Zurich) during their studies – for example, as part of an internship or while writing their bachelor’s thesis. This is made possible by the wide range of scholarships available, on the one hand, and by the international network of faculty members, on the other.

• At the cutting-edge of research
  Students are involved in research projects as an important part of their education as early as the first semester. Likewise, courses are offered beginning with the first semester to prepare students for later leadership positions or to start their own companies.

The programme

The University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna has offered the Bachelor’s Programme in Biomedicine and Biotechnology since 2002. The aim is to familiarise students with the most important basics of the natural sciences and the medical fields and with molecular methods. The programme promotes interdisciplinary work with a problem-focused approach.
