FH Vorarlberg·International Business
Bachelor of Arts in Business
The Double Degree Bachelor in International Business combines studies at Häme University of Applied Sciences in Finland and FHV. Over 3.5 years, students gain two internationally recognized degrees. This program emphasizes practical experience through internships and a thesis that is jointly supervised by both institutions.
Students study core concepts of international business, marketing, finance, and management, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application.
The program includes 3 semesters at each university, followed by an internship and a thesis. The thesis is co-supervised and graded by both institutions.
Graduates develop global perspectives in business, cross-cultural communication skills, and strategic thinking. They are equipped for diverse roles in international business environments.

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 Vorarlberg in Dornbirn is western Austria's applied-sciences hub for engineering, design, business, and social work, embedded in the Rhine Valley's industrial cluster.
