On bachelor level, we have a double degree agreement with Queensland University of Technology in Australia. The program takes four years to complete. If you are a QUT student participating in the program, you will spend your sixth and seventh semester at WU, before returning to your home university for the eighth and last semester.

Key facts

• 8 semesters, 2 degrees
  After successfully completing the program, you will receive a bachelor’s degree from WU (BSc (WU) Business and Economics) and a bachelor’s degree from QUT (B.Bus (major)).

• Choice of specializations and free electives at WU
  You have a choice of various specializations and electives in English, which give you a highly personalized study experience at WU.

• Tuition fee waiver
  You are not subject to tuition fees at WU for the duration of your studies. You do, however, have to pay the Students’ Union dues of around € 20 per semester.

Working in Austria

Sound German skills (minimum level B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) are a requirement for working in Austria. We strongly recommend attending a German language course prior to and/or during your studies at WU.

WU's Business Language Center offers a pre-semester German language course for incoming exchange students, as well as German courses during the semester. You will receive more information about how to register once you have been nominated.

The WU ZBP Career Center supports students and graduates in entering professional life and forms an interface between the university and the job market. More information on working in Austria is available here.

Confirmation of foreign academic achievement

After successful completion of your classes at QUT (see curriculum), please make sure that your QUT transcript is sent to your coordinator at WU’s International Office. You will receive a final grade based on your grade average (weighted according to your credits), which will be displayed on your WU transcript for the subject “Double Degree Studies.” WU’s International Office will arrange for your grade to be transferred.
