The part-time Master’s programme in International Management and Leadership equips students with essential skills in global management, intercultural leadership, and responsible decision-making. The curriculum fosters the ability to enter international markets, manage complex projects, lead global teams, and navigate cultural challenges. Graduates will be prepared for various management and leadership roles in globally operating companies.
The programme covers topics including global business strategies, leadership skills, and intercultural communication. Students engage in a variety of modules, including research methods and practical projects.
The program is organized over four semesters with a combination of lectures, e-learning, and individual projects, culminating in a master’s thesis.
Graduates gain competencies in strategic management, project leadership, and global operations, preparing them for high-level roles in international 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.
