What you study

This is a Master of Arts programme at Lauder Business School, a university of applied sciences in Vienna. It runs for two years over four semesters and carries 120 ECTS. The teaching language is English.

The register description says the programme combines international finance and corporate strategy with business analysis and analytics. You look at the financial sector and at how companies outside it manage their finances. The register lists the field as Finanzwirtschaft, so finance is the core, with analytics sitting alongside it.

The programme is partly delivered online, according to the register. That means some of your study happens away from campus, so it helps to be comfortable working independently.

Admission, language and next steps

Entry goes through an admission procedure, which the register names as an entrance examination. There is no central application portal for Austrian programmes like this one: you apply directly to Lauder Business School, and its own page gives the application period and the details of the admission process.

Everything is taught in English, so you should be ready to study and write at master's level in that language.

On costs: at a public university, EU/EEA and Swiss students pay no tuition within the standard duration plus two semesters, and other students pay a fee per semester. Lauder Business School is a university of applied sciences, though, and those set their own fees. Check the school's page for what applies to you.
