Over 7,700 applicants: Medat 2025 in Vienna - a hard struggle for places!

On Friday, July 4, 2025, the Medat, the admission test for medical studies, is on the program. With over 7,700 registrations at the Medical University of Vienna alone, a record highlight will be reached this year. This corresponds to impressive ten applicants for each of the almost 770 available study places at this institution. According to My district have been in total by the end of March 15,668 people at the medical university registered in Vienna, Innsbruck, Graz and Linz.

Registration to the Medat ended on March 31, 2025 and it is clear that interest in studying medicine is unbroken. Compared to the previous year, the number of registrations rose slightly - in 2024 there were still 15,158. The MedUni Vienna leads by far, where 772 study places hope 772 study places. The overhanging overhang is also remarkable: of the 7,729 registrations are almost 4,900 women and around 2,900 men. MedUni informed that 95 % of the study places for EU and equivalent persons are reserved.

Distribution of study place and tests

A total of 1,900 study places will be available in the coming study year, which will be distributed to the four medical universities. Here is an overview of the places:

The admission test includes the MedAT H for human medicine and the Medat-Z for dentistry. The MedAT-H includes tests for basic knowledge in medicine, understanding of text as well as cognitive skills and social skills. For dentistry, on the other hand, a practical skill test is offered instead of the text understanding. Interested? You can find out more about the Medat on Medizinstudieren.at .

Quality and promotion of young talent

Despite the great rush, the universities and the Chamber of Medical Association vehemently speak out against an increase in study places. The fear is that this could endanger the quality of practical training. Instead, it is challenged to keep artists: on the inside through better working conditions and a better reconciliation of work and family in Austria. There are hard times for everyone who wants to take the demanding way to medicine.

The benchmark for successful medical studies is inevitable, and the medate will also show again this year how young talent and commitment the medical landscape can help shape. It remains exciting, because at the end of the 32nd calendar week 2025 the results will be published and many have brought their dream to become a doctor or doctor.
