Das Studium Economics bietet eine fundierte Ausbildung in wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Theorien, Methoden und deren Anwendungen. Studierende erlernen ökonomisches Denken und Datenanalysen, die für die Lösung wirtschaftlicher Fragestellungen erforderlich sind. Diese Kenntnisse qualifizieren sie für eine Vielzahl von Berufen in der Wirtschaft und im öffentlichen Sektor.
In the Bachelor's program in Economics, students engage with contemporary economic themes such as Bitcoin and the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change. The curriculum focuses on developing independent economic thinking and provides a broad foundation in research-driven economics.
The program is structured over six semesters and is delivered in full-time format. It includes coursework that fosters both theoretical understanding and practical applications, preparing students for real-world economic challenges.
Graduates gain competencies in economic analysis, mathematical reasoning, statistical methods, and effective communication in both German and English. These skills prepare them for diverse roles in economic decision-making and policy considerations.

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.
