Questions
Before you buy
Yes. The programme and the admission test are both in German, and SFU requires German at C1 level.
No. The MedAT is Austria's public-university entrance test. The private universities in our catalogue each run their own separate admission test, with different subjects, timing and format from the MedAT and from each other.
Yes, at all three. The written test comes first, then an interview for candidates who pass it or, at Paracelsus, who rank among the top 405 nationally. Format varies by school: Danube's interview, for example, has an MMI part followed by a medicine and natural-sciences part.
No national licensing exam. Austria's pathway runs through registration and supervised training: a general Basisausbildung period, then either a roughly three-year general-practice track or a five-to-six-year specialist track, administered through the Austrian Medical Chamber, ending in the right to practise.
Yes, it's the 2027 edition, built from the latest admission rules Sigmund Freud University has published. Where a 2027 date or detail isn't published yet, confirm it with the university before you rely on it.
Yes. Sigmund Freud University-format practice sessions are available inside the simulator and align with the guide section by section.
An online guide you read in your browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone. Access starts the moment you buy, with no waiting.
Yes: 1,000+ practice questions in the exam simulator, matched to the format, difficulty and topic distribution of the real SFU Medicine Admission Test, with a full explanation for every answer.
