WU Vienna University of Economics and Business·Wirtschaftsrecht
Master of Laws (LL.M.)
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Wirtschaftsrecht combines legal studies with a focus on economic principles, preparing graduates for core legal professions such as judges, lawyers, and notaries. The curriculum integrates advanced legal education with practical economic knowledge, ensuring that students meet the demands of the labor market. This program also allows for the selection of complementary subjects in business administration or economics, enhancing the interdisciplinary nature of the study.
Im Masterstudium Wirtschaftsrecht beschäftigen Sie sich mit rechtlichen Themen wie privatem und öffentlichem Recht, Steuerrecht sowie Arbeits- und Sozialrecht. Zudem können Sie eine Spezialisierung in Ergänzungsfächern wie Wirtschaftskommunikation wählen.
Das Studium ist in vier Semester unterteilt, wobei die Studierenden Pflicht- und Wahlfächer entsprechend ihren Interessen wählen können. Während des zweiten Teils des Studiums haben die Studierenden die Möglichkeit, eine Masterarbeit zu schreiben oder ein Auslandssemester zu absolvieren.
Absolventen des Programms verfügen über fundierte Kenntnisse im Wirtschaftsrecht und sind darauf vorbereitet, in juristischen Kernberufen oder in verwandten Bereichen zu arbeiten. Sie erwerben wichtige Fähigkeiten wie analytisches Denken, Problemlösungsfähigkeiten und Kommunikationskompetenz.

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.
