The Master's degree programme in Global Strategic Management focuses on strategic decision making, business intelligence, and HR management. Students can choose from three study tracks: Global Strategic Decision Making, Global Green and Social Business, or Global Leadership and HR Management. The program aims to prepare graduates for leadership roles in global business contexts.
Students study various topics such as strategic decision making, business intelligence, and HR management, preparing them for dynamic global roles. The focus includes sustainability and ethics in business, as well as core management skills.
The program is divided into four semesters with a blend of core courses and elective modules, culminating in a thesis project. Internships and practical projects are encouraged to enhance real-world application.
Graduates gain competencies in strategic analysis, problem-solving, and critical thinking, with a solid foundation in business management applied to global contexts.

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.
