You have to register online for the Bachelor’s Program in Business, Economics and Social Sciences during the registration period running from the beginning of March until mid-May. If more people register than we have student places available, a selection procedure with several phases is held. If you complete the selection procedure successfully, you can start the degree program in the winter or summer semester following admission. For further information about the selection procedure and all the relevant dates, please click here.

The selection procedure has two stages. In step one, you must complete an online self-assessment test, and in step two an online entrance examination. If you pass the entrance exam, we will offer you a place in the program, which means that you can complete your admission to your bachelor’s studies at WU. For details about the selection procedure, please click here.

Your admission to the degree program takes place in person at the Study Service Center (LC building, level 2). The documents you need for admission depend on your previous education. You can find detailed information online in our Application Guide.

The amount of the tuition fee depends on your citizenship and the number of semesters you have been enrolled. Students from Austria and the EU are only required to pay tuition fees after exceeding the prescribed minimum program duration of six semesters plus two grace semesters. All students must pay their Students’ Union (ÖH) dues each semester. This also applies to students who are exempt from tuition fees. For details about the tuition fees and Students’ Union dues, please click here.

The program starts with the introductory and orientation phase (STEOP), which consists of three foundational courses. Once you have successfully completed these three first exams, you advance to the common body of knowledge (CBK). The CBK block consists of a total of 11 courses from the fields of business administration, economics, economics as it relates to the environment and politics, mathematics/statistics, law, and the principles of academic work. After your first year, you get to choose a major and you can specialize further. For details about the program structure, please click here.

After completing the Bachelor’s Program in Business, Economics and Social Sciences, you can start a professional career or pursue a subsequent master’s program at WU or at another university in Austria or abroad. If you’d like to go on to a master’s program, it’s best to find out about the admission requirements early on so that you can take them into account when choosing your major/specializations.
