FHWien der WKW·Finance, Accounting and Taxation
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Bachelor of Arts in Finance, Accounting and Taxation program offers an integrated approach to financial management and accounting practices. Students gain foundational knowledge in financial analysis, tax regulations, and reporting standards. The curriculum is structured to promote the development of practical skills through case studies, group projects, and industry collaborations, preparing graduates for careers in finance and accounting sectors.
Students will explore subjects such as financial management, accounting principles, and taxation systems. Emphasis is placed on analytical skills necessary for financial decision-making in various business contexts.
The program is organized into six semesters, incorporating theoretical knowledge and practical applications. Students complete a final thesis and internship to gain real-world experience in finance-related roles.
Graduates will acquire competencies in financial reporting, tax planning, and audit processes. They will be prepared to address complex financial challenges in diverse organizational settings.

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.
