MedUni Vienna takes in students from Ukraine

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 despite the war raging in their homeland. Currently, nine students from Ukraine have been admitted into the study programme. They are supported by "buddies," students who accompany and guide their colleagues during their orientation phase. Numerous initiatives on the part of the Austrian university community are currently supporting researchers and students from Ukraine. Nine medical students (seven in human medicine, two in dentistry) from Ukraine have been admitted to MedUni Vienna for a limited period of time as part of the "Ukraine" Freemover programme created specifically for this purpose. The basic requirement was an adequate command of German (language level C1). The students were interviewed by teachers to ascertain their existing level of knowledge, so that they could be allocated to the appropriate year of the course.
