In the medical entrance test today, 1,900 study places will be allocated at the public medical universities in Vienna, Innsbruck, and Graz, as well as at the medical faculty of the University of Linz. Up to 85 of these study places are so-called "dedicated" places for tasks in the public interest.

Medical Entrance Test: Same Questions at the Medical Universities in Vienna, Innsbruck, and Graz and the Medical Faculty of the University of Linz

Experience shows that around 80 percent of those registered actually attend the nationwide uniform approximately eight-hour written exam. This exam primarily tests knowledge from medically relevant subjects (especially biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics) and cognitive abilities (including memory, recognizing implications). Ten percent of the result depends on the text comprehension section, as well as the section on recognizing emotions and social decision-making. Those applying for a "dedicated" study place must achieve a lower score on the test but, in return, must work for a certain period after graduation at a public institution (Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Ministry of Defense, etc.) as a general practitioner, hospital doctor, military doctor, or official doctor.
