FHWien der WKW’s study programs stand out for their practical relevance. “Two thirds of our lecturers are experts and managers from the business world with a wealth of professional experience. Our practice-oriented Bachelor’s and Master’s programs optimally prepare our students for professional life,” explains Michael Heritsch, CEO of FHWien der WKW. “In 2020, the renowned university ranking U-Multirank confirmed that we are delivering on our promise of great practical relevance.

How to get a place to study at FHWien der WKW

The path to one of the coveted university places begins on the website of FHWien der WKW. Candidates can register there and fill out the online application form. They then send the printed application form with all the necessary documents by post to FHWien der WKW’s Service Point. Once the documents are complete, applicants can choose a date for the IT-based admissions test. This test will take place online in April 2023; applicants do not have to come to FHWien der WKW for it. Once this hurdle has been overcome, the final step in the admissions process is an application interview, in some cases combined with a presentation, or an assessment center – depending on the program chosen.

Study programs for working professionals

More and more working professionals are starting a degree program alongside their job because a university degree improves career prospects. FHWien der WKW caters to the needs of this growing group and offers some Bachelor’s programs both full-time and part-time. Other Bachelor’s programs and all Master’s programs are only offered on a part-time basis. “In this way, we also open up the opportunity for working people to complete a degree program,” emphasizes FHWien CEO Michael Heritsch.

From fall 2023, the Bachelor’s program in Tourism Management will be conducted for the first time either as a full-time program or as a dual program (subject to accreditation by AQ Austria). In the dual version, theory phases at FHWien alternate with practical phases in the company.
