Some documents should also be in German, so please check the website of your desired medical schools

But what is the medical curriculum like in medical schools in Austria

Well, medical programs in Germany are undergraduate programs, meaning you can take them right
6:11
after high school. The medium of instruction will all be in German
6:15
Accordingly, it requires applicants, especially non-German ones, to be at least C1 level
6:20
