Programme

Corporate Responsibility and Business Ethics are no longer niche subjects. Today’s managers need a good knowledge of basic ethics approaches to business in order to build reputation for their companies and themselves. Stakeholders expect managers to be able to show responsibility for company goals and strategies as well as for their business environment and society.

Although this programme mainly focuses on issues on the com- pany level, also topics of general economic ethics as well as on managers’ individual level are part of the program. All relevant new approaches to corporate responsibility and business ethics are included in the three levels of economy: macro, meso, and micro level.

Participants will be provided with a strong theoretical and analytical background and the possibility to demonstrate the developed skills in specific case studies. Furthermore, a study trip will enable the students to access and practice business ethics and corporate responsibility.

Target audience

After completion of the program, participants will be able to successfully set up and manage the corporate ethics and com- pliance programs in organizations that recognize that business without ethics is business at risk!

This program targets any business professionals who deal with ethical situations and/or moral decision making: Chief executives, CSR managers, compliance managers and community affairs managers, managers who want to understand how organisations can put ethical commitments into practice as well as consultants and accountants who want to develop their competence in business ethics and corporate responsibility.

The university already is the largest provider of postgraduate continuing education in Austria and is now striving to become the leading competence center of academic continuing education in central Europe within the next few years.

Danube University Krems has specialized in postgraduate academic studies and offers exclusive courses in the fields of economics and management, communications, IT and media, medicine and health, law, European integration and public administration, education and cultural sciences as well as of building and ecology.

Being a European model project, Danube University Krems combines high quality in education, research and consulting with excellent customer orientation and service. More than 4,500 students from 80 countries are enrolled in over 150 academic courses.

Study in Krems

Krems is a traditional educational town - with 30 schools and high schools attended by more than 10,000 students. Therefore, Krems’ environment is richly furnished with restaurants, hotels, guest-houses and students’ hostels, as well as leisure-time and cultural facilities. The idyllic environment of the Wachau, its exquisite wines and numerous sports facilities contribute in significant measure to the quality of life of students at the Danube University Krems.

Historic buildings and architecture from the middle-ages in the parts of Krems and Stein show for a meaningful past. The community, already mentioned in 995 as "urbs chremisa", was once the center of salt and wine trading and is one of the oldest towns in the country.

Strolling through the medieval alleyways, tasting wine in closed-down monasteries, relaxing in a café by the street, and amusedly smiling in the museum of caricatures: art and culture can be experienced and lived in Krems. The folk music festival "Glatt & Verkehrt" (Smooth & Traffic), the Lower Austrian Danube Festival, the film program of the Austrian Film Gallery, and the exhibitions at the internationally renowned Art Center Krems are the highlights of the town’s annual event calendar. As a member of the art-mile in Krems, the Danube University of Krems is a regular part of the local art and culture scene.

The Danube University of Krems is an ideal starting point for jogging, cycling, playing squash and tennis, or simply for taking a walk through the vineyards. Oarsmen and swimmers can pursuit their hobbies in the nearby Danube River.
