The Medical University of Graz (Med Uni Graz) is a medical university in Austria that has been in existence since January 1, 2004, and has been a part of the Karl-Franzens University of Graz as a medical faculty since 1863.
History
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 January 1, 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.
The transition of the medical faculty into the Medical University took place during the founding convention under the leadership of Chairman Karlheinz Tscheliessnigg, with the election of the first rector, Gerhard Franz Walter. After Walter's first term as rector, the Medical University was led by the former vice-rector and chairman of the founding convention, Tscheliessnigg, from October 2007 to March 2008, until Josef Smolle was elected as the new rector.
In 2016, Hellmut Samonigg became rector of the Medical University of Graz.
Since 2024, Andrea Kurz, Vice-Chair for Research in the Anesthesiology Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, has been rector of the Medical University of Graz.

His second term began on February 15, 2020, with Vice Rectors Caroline Schober-Trummler (Research and International), Andreas Leithner (Clinical Affairs), Sabine Vogl (Studies and Teaching), and Birgit Hochenegger-Stoirer (Financial Management, Law, and Digitalization).

=The Austrian National Union of Students, also known as "Hochschülerinnen- und Hochschülerschaft (ÖH) Med Graz", represents the students. It consists of the university representation and the study representations for human medicine, dentistry, health and nursing science, and doctoral studies. According to the University Act, general elections are held every two years. In the last ÖH election in 2019, the list herzlinks.at, which is part of the Austrian National Union of Socialist Students and part of the Verband Sozialistischer Studentinnen und Studenten Österreichs, received 70.45% of the votes (seven mandates), while the list JUNOS - Junge liberale Studierende received 19.86% (two mandates). The current executive team of the university representation consists of Johanna Brehmer (chairwoman), Laurin Erlacher (1st deputy chairman), and Lukas Jager (2nd deputy chairman).
The magazine of ÖH Med Graz, medizynisch, was named the third-best medical student magazine in German-speaking countries in 2008. The news magazine of Med Uni Graz is called MEDitio.
On October 8, 2012, the very first white coat ceremony (WCC) in Austria was held as a cooperative project with the Austrian National Union of Students at the Medical University of Graz. This represented a major leap in promoting corporate identity and student identification with their alma mater.
