WU Vienna University of Economics and Business·Business
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master in International Business equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in a global business environment. The program focuses on international trade, global economics, and cross-cultural management. Graduates will be prepared to take on leadership roles in multinational corporations.
Students will engage in topics related to international business dynamics, learning about global markets, consumer behavior, and international regulations.
The program consists of four semesters, combining core courses in the first two semesters and specialized electives in the last two, culminating in a master's thesis.
Graduates will develop advanced international business skills, strong leadership capabilities, and an understanding of global economic environments.

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.
