Medical University of Vienna (MedUni Wien)

Originally founded in 1365 as the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Vienna, the Medical University of Vienna became a separate institution in 2004 under Austrian university reform. Considered the cradle of modern medicine through the 'First Vienna Medical School' (18th C - Gerard van Swieten, Maria Theresa reforms) and 'Second Vienna Medical School' (19th C - Carl von Rokitansky, Josef Skoda, Ignaz Semmelweis's hand-washing discovery). Sigmund Freud trained and worked here. Associated with Nobel laureates including Karl Landsteiner (blood groups, 1930), Robert Bárány (1914), and Otto Loewi (1936). Today serves approximately 8,000 students. The integrated Vienna General Hospital (AKH) is one of Europe's largest hospitals. Admission for Human Medicine is via the highly competitive MedAT entrance exam, taken annually by ~15,000 candidates for ~1,560 places across Austria.
