The FHWien University of Applied Sciences of WKW is a young and dynamic institution which has already developed a distinctive international profile.

Due to the diverse backgrounds of our incoming exchange students (France, Russia, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, USA, Hungary, and others), our university offers instruction in numerous languages – in addition to German, our students study English, French, Spanish, Russian, Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian. We place great emphasis on ensuring that our students are able to communicate as effectively as possible in the international context.
