Medizinische Universität Wien - Kooperationen der Medizinischen Universität Wien

What you get

You receive a mobility grant of 500 EUR per month for each clinical tertial (a practical training block in a hospital department) abroad, for up to 12 months at a partner university of the Medical University of Vienna anywhere in the world. You can also apply for a language-course subsidy of up to 450 EUR to prepare for your stay. The Medical University of Vienna pays the grant from its international cooperation agreements, separately from ERASMUS+ and SEMP. The money comes afterwards, once you hand in your final documents and your results abroad are recognised. There is no legal entitlement: funding depends on the available budget and the number of applicants.

Who can apply

• University: You are studying medicine (Diplom programme) at the Medical University of Vienna.
• Study phase: You are in your 5th year. The grant covers the 5th-year tertials abroad, not the clinical-practical year (KPJ).
• Grades: Your results are crucial. The ranking of university places is determined primarily by your weighted average mark for all courses you have passed.
• Extra points: Social engagement and personal obstacles to going abroad count in your favour when places are ranked.
• Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are welcome to apply, provided they are enrolled as medical students in Vienna.

How to apply

Registration takes place via the ‘Mobility-Online’ portal during the application period. This begins on 3 November and lasts for approximately two weeks (from 3 to 19 November for the academic year 2026/27). During the same round, ERASMUS, SEMP and the cooperation programme are considered together, and you specify up to six destination locations in order of preference. Allocations are announced in mid-December, and you then accept or decline them online.
