Faculty of Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine at Sigmund Freud Private University offers bachelor’s degree programmes in human medicine and dentistry and a master’s degree in dentistry; graduates are doctoral candidates in dentistry.

In the Bachelor’s programme, students learn the basics of medical knowledge with a close interweaving of pre-clinical and clinical subjects. The programme is characterised by early patient contact, teaching extensive diagnostic knowledge and learning how to conduct medical consultations in close cooperation with the Faculty of Psychotherapy Science at SFU. The Master’s degree programme in Dentistry is characterised by the deepening of medical knowledge through to therapy, by research, especially in the context of Master’s theses, and by a clinical internship year at the University Clinic for Dentistry at SFU.

SFU MED aims to position itself in all degree programmes with outstanding quality in teaching, including clinical-practical training. Highly qualified teaching staff with direct professional practice in everyday hospital life prepare students for their future profession; small group teaching, direct contact with lecturers and an excellent supervision ratio guarantee successful studies. In addition, direct patient contact is included in the curricula right from the start of the programme. SFU MED focuses on offering comprehensive medical training: in addition to direct medical knowledge, students acquire social skills and are trained in dealing with patients against their respective socio-cultural backgrounds.

The SFU MED pursues the educational goal of sharpening the future medical staff’s understanding of the patient’s living environment, of any causes of a clinical picture that are not primarily obvious and, as a result, to be able to offer professionally competent treatment of patients.

In Vienna, the study programmes in medicine and dentistry are offered in German language.
The new university course “Lasers in Dentistry” comprises five semesters with 120 ECTS and concludes with a Master Professional (MPr). The programme is offered exclusively in English.
