MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF GRAZ

ABOUT UNIVERSITY

The Medical University of Graz (Med Uni Graz) is a medical university in Austria that has been in existence since 1 January 2004, and has been a part of the Karl-Franzens University of Graz as a medical faculty since 1863

The present Medical University of Graz traces its origins back to the former Medical Faculty of the Karl-Franzens University of Graz, which was founded in 1863 by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Medical education had been provided here as part of a medical-surgical curriculum since 1782. In 1912, the University Hospital Graz, one of the largest hospitals in Europe at the time, was established.

Since the enactment of the University Act of 2002 on 1 January 2004, the current Medical University of Graz (as well as the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Innsbruck) has become an independent university. The university library of the Medical University of Graz was previously a part of the University Library Graz before the separation of the two universities
