FHWien der WKW·Business
Bachelor of Arts in Business (BA)
The Bachelor in Digital Business combines cutting-edge digital technologies and economic knowledge, providing an in-depth understanding of digital transformation. The program focuses on developing professional communication skills and includes interactive simulations and practical projects with industry partners. Graduates are equipped to manage responsibilities related to the implementation of current and emerging digital technologies in complex projects.
The program delves into key areas like digital business models, data analytics, AI applications, and management principles. Students will engage with practical projects that extend learning beyond theoretical concepts, preparing them for roles at the intersection of technology and business.
Courses are structured over six semesters, combining online learning and on-campus attendance. Students must complete practical internships and develop a Bachelor Thesis in the final semester, which synthesizes their learning and practical experience.
Graduates will have a solid understanding of digital business strategies, IT solutions, and project management skills. They will also develop strong interpersonal and communication abilities, crucial for navigating complex professional 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.
