WU Vienna University of Economics and Business·Communication
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's program in Business Communication is designed to prepare students for careers in dynamic communication environments. It emphasizes the importance of effective communication strategies, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of digital tools in business settings. Graduates will be equipped with the necessary skills to lead and manage communication initiatives globally.
In the Master’s Program in Business Communication, students study how global corporations leverage communication to achieve business success and uphold social responsibility. The curriculum focuses on management skills, language comprehension, intercultural communication, and media competence, ensuring students are equipped for effective interaction in a digital landscape.
The program is organized into four semesters, culminating in a master's thesis. Students engage in practical case studies, simulations, and collaborative research projects with corporate partners, allowing for hands-on learning and application of skills acquired throughout the coursework.
Graduates of the program develop competencies in strategic communication, which includes media and intercultural proficiency. They become adept at crafting communication strategies that align with business goals and effectively resonate with diverse audiences.

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.
