Within the curriculum of BaWiSo 2019, the International Elective provides students with flexible credit transfer options for ECTS credits earned abroad. In addition, the International Elective gives students the opportunity to take courses with an international focus at WU in the sense of "Internationalization at Home".

Please note that the International Elective does not replace the mandatory mobility for the IBW international experience. Information on the IBW international experience can be found here.

Courses abroad:

Prerequisites for the recognition of ECTS credits earned abroad as part of the International Elective are:

• At least 4 ECTS credits (if a course has less than 4 ECTS credits, a maximum of two courses can be combined for credit transfer as an International Elective)

• Business-related content

• Advanced bachelor level (no introductory courses)

• Completed during studies outside Austria and outside the student's home country at a recognized post-secondary education institution abroad

Courses at WU:

International Electives can also be completed at WU. These courses are taken by incoming exchange students to a great extent. WU Students have the opportunity to gain international learning experience directly at WU. International Electives that can be taken at WU are published in the directory of classes and are highlighted accordingly. Please note that dual use of these courses is not permitted.
