Studying at Veterinärmedizinische Universität Wien with the IB

• The Diploma Programme in Veterinary Medicine requires an additional examination in Latin before the first diploma examination. It is waived if Latin was successfully completed at a secondary school with at least ten hours of instruction per week.
• The additional examination in biology and environmental studies is waived for Veterinary Medicine and for Biomedicine and Biotechnology, because biology/natural science knowledge is already covered in the selection procedure.

The IB Diploma is listed as one accepted proof of general university entrance qualification for the Diploma Programme in Veterinary Medicine and the Bachelor's Programme in Biomedicine and Biotechnology. The exact admission route depends on citizenship and the country where the school leaving certificate was obtained. Admission requirements are checked at in-person admission after the selection procedure results are announced.

• The extension programme in initial consultation and care of the small animal patient requires German at level B2 (CEFR) for people whose first language is not German.
• If there is no proof of sufficient German knowledge, supplementary examinations must be taken before admission to the degree programme.
