The Bachelor program in International Business Management prepares students for a successful career in international business with a focus on global challenges like digitization and sustainability. It emphasizes personal development and intercultural competence through potential study abroad opportunities. Graduates are equipped with key competencies in analytical thinking, strategic planning, and effective communication, preparing them for leadership roles in the global economy.
Students study topics related to business administration, digital transformation, sustainability, international management, and effective communication. They gain insights into international financial markets and develop skills necessary for managerial roles in various sectors.
The program is organized into six semesters, with a focus on both theoretical and practical learning, including project work, internships, and a bachelor thesis in the final semester. Students may also undertake exchange semesters at partner institutions abroad.

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.
FH Kufstein Tirol focuses on international business, facility and real-estate management, and digital economy programs, with a strongly international outlook.
