WU Vienna University of Economics and Business·Business Administration
Master of Science (MSc) in International Business
The CEMS Master is a prestigious program designed to develop global business leaders. Students will engage in a curriculum that combines theoretical knowledge with practical experiences. The program emphasizes the development of leadership skills and cultural awareness, preparing graduates for impactful careers in multinational companies.
In this program, you will explore essential themes in international business management, including global marketing, cross-cultural communication, and sustainable business practices. The curriculum emphasizes understanding international markets and developing strategic management skills necessary for a globalized economy.
The program is structured over four semesters, combining theoretical coursework with practical experiences. Students engage in a thesis project during the final semester, which allows for deeper exploration of a specific area of interest, alongside opportunities for internships in various international firms.
Graduates will acquire competencies in strategic analysis, international market entry strategies, and intercultural negotiation skills. They will also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for leadership roles in diverse work environments.

Non-EU / third-country rate. Always confirm on the official site.
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.
WU is one of Europe's largest business universities, triple-accredited (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA), with a striking modern campus and a strong portfolio of English-taught business and economics programs.
