The Global Business Program is designed for students aiming for an international career in business. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications in areas such as marketing, finance, and management. Students will benefit from lectures by globally recognized faculty and have the opportunity to participate in internships and projects. Graduates are prepared to work in diverse international environments.
Students will explore essential topics such as international marketing, consumer behavior, and global business strategies. The program emphasizes understanding of different cultural perspectives in a business context.
The Global Business Program is organized into three semesters, each comprising various practical and theoretical modules, culminating in a project or internship opportunity. The curriculum is designed to foster hands-on experience and collaborative learning environments.
Graduates will acquire essential cross-cultural communication skills, a solid foundation in international business practices, and the ability to analyze global market trends. This prepares them for effective roles in diverse professional settings.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
