Nostrification is the recognition of a foreign university degree as being equivalent to a degree from an Austrian bachelor's, master's, diploma or doctoral program by the governing body responsible for academic affairs at a university or by a university of applied sciences board. This means complete equivalence with an Austria degree, the right to use the corresponding Austrian academic title and the authorization to practice a profession that is associated with a degree in Austria.
Since 2017 the random test for nostrification of a medical degree has been conducted jointly by all medical universities in Austria. Nostrification applicants are entitled to participate in this random test one time. Depending on the result of the random test, further conditions for nostrification are imposed on candidates by the medical university to which they have applied for nostrification.
