How the programme is organised

Six semesters, 180 ECTS, English throughout. Teaching leans on real-life projects, team management and strategic problem-solving in global contexts, with presentations and case studies. There is a separate degree, the BSc in International Management with Professional Experience, which runs five months longer and includes a compulsory internship of 900 hours (roughly three to four months) in Austria or abroad, plus an Internship Preparatory Course. You cannot add the internship to the three year version once you have started it.

Who it suits

Students who want a broad business education with an international angle rather than a narrow specialism from day one. The page points to careers in marketing, sales, public relations, finance, HR or running your own business. It suits people who are comfortable with group work, presentations and case discussions.

Admission, language and next steps

Applications go directly to Modul University Vienna through its own application portal, not a central Austrian portal. You submit a CV, a letter of motivation, your high school certificate and transcripts, a passport copy, a passport-sized photo, proof of English at B2 and, if you have them, a recommendation letter and certificates from extracurricular activities, all as PDFs. Accepted English tests include IELTS 6.5 with no sub-score below 6.0, TOEFL iBT, Cambridge FCE, Pearson PTE Academic and Duolingo. Native speakers and students who completed high school entirely in English at recognised international schools may be exempt. If you do not meet all requirements you may be admitted on condition of completing the one-semester Foundation Program first; you do not apply for it separately.

As a private university, Modul University Vienna sets its own tuition; the programme page states a fee per semester, and you should confirm the current figure with the university. The page does not give application deadlines, so check with the institution.
