FHWien der WKW·Communication Management
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Communication Management focuses on the integration of business skills and communication strategies. Students learn to navigate the ever-changing communication landscape while acquiring practical skills in media management, public relations, and strategic communications. The program prepares graduates for fruitful careers in various communication roles.
Students engage in diverse topics that include media, public relations, and marketing principles. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills through case studies and projects.
The program is structured around six semesters, with a blend of theoretical coursework and practical experience through internships. A final thesis project encapsulates the students' learning.
Graduates develop strong communication competencies and managerial skills, equipping them to handle real-world challenges in organizational 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.
FHWien der WKW, backed by the Vienna Economic Chamber, focuses on management, communication, and digital economy programs with mandatory industry internships.
