Know more – do more

The requirements of the labor market are growing and growing – making it increasingly important to be “fit for the job” after completing your degree program. Curricula are improved on an ongoing basis so as to fit in with developments in the working world and new international trends. This is to prepare our graduates for the beginning of – or the next step in – their careers. Our motto spans from “know more” to “do more” – meaning that we focus more on practical strengths learned. Teaching, learning and exams at FHWien der WKW are completed in modules. This means: Topic blocks make up modules, and at the end of the module there is an exam.

What is a module?

A module is a teaching unit consisting of multiple topic blocks, which are thematically linked and cover a specific area relevant to the degree program. In this module, clearly defined skills will be developed, with an examination of all sub elements at the end.

How does it help students?

Teaching is directed towards learning outcomes. Competency-based learning and fewer exams – which are integrated and more comprehensive – make up the curricula. Students’ personal development and their employability in business is our central goal.

Digitalization and industrial changes take place extremely quickly, changing the business environment and career fields and creating new, innovative areas of application and challenges requiring digital solutions. Companies are always in great need of professionals who are able to work competently with new technology and use data for diverse media channels.

The continuing education program in Designing Digital Business makes it possible for you to develop the technological, design and business skills needed and to take on project management and leadership roles in online business.

Bringing together the three topics in one program opens many doors for our graduates.
