Programme

Conducting business in an entrepreneurial way and having the capacity for innovation are the most important competitive factors in many sectors. Today, the existing economic structures are altered through innovation. Companies failing to rise to this challenge disappear from the market place. The ability to seize entrepreneurial opportunities will become a key qualification for executives and managers.

The specialization in Entrepreneurship & Innovation ("Additional Accreditation: FIBAA") communicates the appropriate skills and techniques teaching entrepreneurial thinking and acting. It is particularly at the interface between economics and technology that there lies a great deal of unexplored potential.

In the course of the part-time Professional MBA with specialization options, participants gain profound insights into core business subjects and a specific field or industry.
During the program, participants master the “Business Core” focusing on core business and management knowledge, techniques and leadership, while ensuring a maximum flexibility to foster their individual needs and ambitions during the “Specialization” modules.

Study in Vienna

Vienna, the historical capital of the Habsburg monarchy for over six centuries, is a vibrant and exciting place to live and study and is an impressive repository of culture and heritage. According to the Economist, it is the third most livable city in the world due to its exceptional safety records, education quality, recreation possibilities and political-economic stability.

Vienna offers a perfect blend of imperial traditions, nostalgic charm and stunning modern architecture. A walk along the Ringstrasse boulevard with its splendid buildings and historical palaces is an indescribable experience. Vienna is home to one of the world’s leading opera houses and is internationally acclaimed for its cultural and social events such as the New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonics and numerous balls. After visiting some of Europe’s finest museums, traditional cafés are a good place to relax and experience the typical Viennese charm.
