University of Vienna·Business Administration
Master of Science (MSc)
The master's programme in International Business Administration focuses on interdisciplinary education, combining business administrative skills with international competencies. Students can specialize in various cultural regions to acquire skills in language, culture, and legal competencies relevant to international markets. Graduates will be prepared for complex management roles within multinational companies.
Students study management problems, cultural studies, international marketing, and economic principles. The curriculum emphasizes both business administration and cultural competencies essential for global roles.
The program is structured into an introductory phase covering foundational knowledge, a specialization phase allowing students to tailor their education with electives, and a thesis phase culminating in their master's thesis.
Graduates gain expertise in business management, interdisciplinary skills, and cultural competence, preparing them for leadership 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.
