Why choose the SBWL?

The Institute of International Business offers one of the most popular specializations within the WU Vienna bachelor programs. Entry to the specialization is highly competitive. The SBWL International Business aims at providing students a deeper understanding of the principles of international business across different types of firms (e.g. small vs large; service vs production), different functions (e.g., HR, finance, sales, R&D), and different strategic challenges (e.g., international growth and divestments, global organization, HQ-subsidiary relations).

Students have the possibility to specialize even further within the SBWL if they are choosing one of three non-mandatory tracks (structure of the SBWL).

We offer a unique education that is based on state of the art content as well as award winning teaching methods and combines the learning experience with a powerful network of corporate partners as well as the student network IB Club.

Application-​oriented education and knowledge transfer between education, science and corporate world mark the unique success of the specialization International Business and its alumni.

We facilitate an international learning experience not only by teaching exclusively in English and inviting international exchange students into our courses but also by supporting students in credit transfer of compatible courses after an exchange semester.

By completing the specialization International Business, you gain the knowledge and skills to succeed in a global business environment.
