  • Admission Procedures
    (The Bachelor's degree program in Biology (with a focus on Microbiology & Genetics and Molecular Biology) at the University of Vienna is eligible, but applicants are selected by the selection committee. Below you will find a brief description of the admission criteria by the head of the selection committee:
     "The Master's degree program in Neuroscience follows a strict admission procedure in which all decisions regarding admission are made by the selection committee."
    The selection committee endeavors to make balanced decisions, taking various criteria into account. Priority is given to applicants who can demonstrate a solid academic foundation from their previous studies as well as practical research experience (e.g. research internships or a research-oriented Bachelor's thesis). In addition, there is a higher probability that applicants will be admitted who demonstrate a genuine and well-founded interest in the subject through their letter of motivation and have an exemplary academic record (academic achievements and good grades).")
