• Degree Programmes at the Medical University of Vienna https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/en/studies-further-education/study-programmes/

  The university page lists its programmes: medicine, dentistry, master's programmes, PhD programmes and postgraduate courses.

  The table for first-professional programmes lists Medicine UN 202 as 12 semesters and 360 ECTS, and Dentistry UN 203 as 12 semesters and 362.8 ECTS. The catalog duration is therefore set to 6 years.

• Admission to the Medicine and Dentistry Degree Programme https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/en/studies-further-education/application-admission/medicine-and-dentistry-degree/

  Admission to medicine and dentistry is described as a separate procedure with an admissions test, grading and admission.

  This places programme selection at application and admission. The page does not show ordinary post-enrollment choice of a main or additional specialization.

• Structure of the Medicine Degree Programme https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/en/studies-further-education/medicine-degree/structure/

  The medicine programme lasts 12 semesters and is divided into three phases. Most of the study time is devoted to required subjects, with a smaller share for electives and compulsory optional subjects.

  The structure shows a fixed professional curriculum with internal elective elements, but not post-enrollment choice of a major, minor, profile or second main pathway.

• Structure of the Dentistry Programme https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/en/studies-further-education/dentistry-degree/structure/

  The dentistry programme lasts 12 semesters and is divided into three phases. The description identifies required subjects, electives, compulsory optional subjects and clinical training.

  This confirms a fixed professional programme architecture with course-level choice, but without a regular post-enrollment choice of a programme component.

• Recognition of Study Achievements and Free Electives in Medicine https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/studierende/mein-studium/diplomstudium-humanmedizin/anerkennung-von-studienleistungen-freien-wahlfaechern/

  Medicine students must complete 15 semester hours of free electives. Ten hours must have medically relevant content, and another five hours may be freely selected from courses at all recognized domestic and foreign universities and higher education institutions.

  This confirms ordinary external choice of individual courses inside a fixed medicine programme. The volume is small, so this does not imply an open programme.

• Recognition of Study Achievements and Free Electives in Dentistry https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/studierende/mein-studium/diplomstudium-zahnmedizin/anerkennung-von-studienleistungen-freien-wahlfaechern/

  Dentistry students must complete six semester hours of free electives.

  These courses may be selected from all recognized domestic and foreign universities and higher education institutions. This confirms external choice of individual courses inside a fixed dentistry programme.

• Medical University of Vienna, THE World University Rankings 2026 https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/medical-university-vienna

  The THE World University Rankings 2026 profile for Medical University of Vienna shows a tied rank of =181. The equality sign is normalized to 181 in the catalog.

  Following the batch source rule, sourcePosition rank_order 1820 and rank =181 were used, accessed 2026-06-26. RAEX 2026 covers Russian universities, so the RAEX field is omitted for the Austrian university.

• uni:data open data on ordinary degree programmes at public universities https://unidata.gv.at/Pages/opendata.aspx

  The official open data dataset for Wintersemester 2024, reference date 28 February 2025, reports 5,765 ordinary degree studies in Diplomstudium at Medizinische Universität Wien.

  The sum consists of 5,072 Humanmedizin programmes and 693 Zahnmedizin programmes. The catalog stores this comparable long first-degree population in `total`. No bachelor programmes appear in this split, so `bachelor` is left `null`; Austrian Diplomstudium is not mapped to the Russian specialist level.
