Study real business: In accordance with this principle, we at FHWien der WKW have been cultivating a lively exchange with business for 25 years. Two thirds of our more than 1,000 teachers have a background in business. As specialists and managers, they always have their finger on the pulse of the times, are familiar with current challenges and contribute their knowledge and experience to the competence development of more than 2,800 students. In addition, a variety of practical projects with various companies as well as mandatory internships complement our curricula.
In 2019 we are looking back on a quarter of a century of committed action and celebrate the eventful 25 years of FHWien der WKW with joy and pride. When FHWien der WKW was founded in 1994 as one of the first universities of applied sciences in Austria, it began with the ambitious intention of providing students with the best possible professional support as a reliable partner. At the same time, the economy and the location of Vienna were to be strengthened by competent and responsibly trained people. We have remained true to these intentions to this day.
Tailor-made study programs for working people
Our Master’s degree programs are offered exclusively on a part-time basis. Most of the Bachelor’s degree programs can be taken part-time or full-time.
This enables us to support employees in their desire for further training and career development and it’s easy to bring under one roof while working.
Digitalization
Digitalization presents companies with major challenges in their search for employees who, in addition to business competence, also have digital qualifications. We are reacting to this trend and have updated and expanded the topic of digitalization in all degree programs.
In autumn 2019, the new part-time Bachelor’s degree program Digital Business has started. What is unique about it is that it combines digital technology with business applications.
Sustainability
FHWien der WKW has been a pioneer in the field of corporate responsibility since 2012. We were one of the first universities of applied sciences to include business ethics and corporate governance as compulsory subjects in the curricula of all Master’s programs.
In order to ensure that the relevant contents taught in the study programs and all scientific initiatives on the subject comply with internationally recognized standards, FHWien der WKW signed the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) in 2015.
International
Employers attach more and more importance to international experience, intercultural skills and foreign language skills. Therefore, internationalization & mobility are primary goals of FHWien der WKW. Students gain experience abroad during:
- Semesters abroad
- Summer sessions
- Internships
