FAQ bbe selection procedure

Special provisions for the following applicants

  • Have you already been admitted and enrolled in our Bachelor’s Program in Business and Economics in the past? Then you do not need to register for the selection procedure but can directly enroll in the program during the enrollment period.

  • Do you have a long-lasting physical or mental impairment that makes it difficult or impossible for you to take the written exam? Please contact the WU BeAble team (beable@wu.ac.at) during the registration period. The WU BeAble team will work with you to find out if and how you can participate in the written exam. Please note: You still have to register for the selection procedure and complete step 1 if it is held. Exceptions to the regular selection procedure for this group of applicants apply only to the written exam. 

Important Notes

  • The entire selection procedure is conducted in English. This includes all communications with applicants, the OSA, and the written exam. Sufficient proficiency in English is therefore a prerequisite to participation in the selection procedure.

  • We do not cover or refund any expenses you may incur in connection with the selection and admission procedure.

  • WU does not offer preparatory courses for the entrance exam. Private preparation courses may not cover the contents of the WU BBE in-person entrance exam. To connect with current students of the program, feel free to contact the BBE Club.
