SHAPINGTHE FUTURE OF
HEALTHCARE
KARL LANDSTEINER UNIVERSITYOF HEALTH SCIENCES IS A PIONEER
IN INNOVATIVE TEACHING ANDRESEARCH IN MEDICINE AND
HEALTH SCIENCES.
KL - FOR KARL LANDSTEINER.
Lower Austrian-born Nobel Prize winner
Karl Landsteiner laid the foundations
for a host of key medical breakthroughs
with his discovery of blood groups
and the Rhesus factor. Landsteiner’s
outstanding research achievements
and dedication to the field of medicine
are reflected in the values of the
new university that bears his name.

The future demands new perspectives on
health. Solutions need to be found to the
problems caused by growing populations,
longer life expectancies, escalating costs
and the increasing demand for highly skil-
led experts.
Against the backdrop of this shift in health
policy, the university – which was accre-
dited in late 2013 – sees itself as a pioneer
in innovative education and research in
the fields of medicine and health sciences
which will benefit society at large.
As part of a groundbreaking, holistic ap-
proach which sees an understanding of
health as the key to promoting physical,
mental and emotional wellbeing, we have
brought together four disciplines that have
a decisive impact on health policy – health
sciences, human medicine, psychotherapy
and counselling, and neurorehabilitation –
under one roof.
An integrated, interdisciplinary approach is
the cornerstone of the university’s drive to
train the next generation of medical and
health professionals.
As part of the firmly established teaching
and research set-up at Campus Krems,
Karl Landsteiner University offers a cur-
riculum tailored to the needs of students
and the requirements of the Bologna mo-
del, which in turn opens the door to new
health science occupations where world-
wide demand for graduates is strong.
The university’s flexible, open structure
allows it to respond quickly and effectively
to new developments, which raises our
profile when it comes to addressing the
needs of society.

Our network of university hospitals in
St. Pölten, Krems and Tulln will enable us
to provide students with a quality-
assured, research-led education, and
to carry out top-class clinical research
with a strong international reputation.
SHAPING THE FUTUREOF HEALTHCARE
6
Karl Landsteiner University of Health
Sciences is the first Austrian tertiary edu-
cation institution to offer a comprehen-
sive range of integrated, interdisciplinary
medical and health sciences degree pro-
grammes in line with the requirements of
the Bologna model.
Small groups, a strong focus on medical
practice and all-round personal support
are the stand-out features of the universi-
ty’s teaching activities. This gives students
the time and space they need to identify
and nurture their personal talents and
build up the necessary specialist experti-
se. We also encourage students to see the
big picture and adopt an interdisciplinary
mindset that allows them to communicate
and work effectively, and identify solutions
geared to patient requirements.
MEETING THE
BOLOGNA STANDARDS
The full-time degree comprises the Health
Sciences bachelor programme and the
supplementary Human Medicine master
programme. Graduates are awarded the
title of Doctor of Medicine (Dr. med.univ.).
Our state-of-the-art curriculum with its
emphasis on biomedical engineering and
health economics opens up prospects in
a number of health-sector professions
besides medical practice, including the
medical documentation and pharma-
ceuticals industries.
PSYCHOTHERAPY- AND
COUNSELLING SIENCES
BACHELOR PROGRAMME
This part-time programme provides high-
quality, theory-driven and research-based
training in psychotherapy and counselling.
Besides preparatory training for further
education in psychotherapy and subse-
quent entry into the profession, the focus
is on supporting the development of basic
scientific skills.
NEUROREHABILITATION SCIENCES
MASTER PROGRAMME
The part-time Neurorehabilitation Scien-
ces master programme is geared towards
introducing additional academic elements
into the therapeutic professions. The pro-
gramme is the first of its kind in Austria to
provide structured, theory-based training
designed to help physiotherapists, and
occupational and speech therapists de-
velop academic abilities, with a view to
studying for a PhD.
