Vienna University of Economics and Business
The mission WU has defined for itself goes well beyond providing a high-quality education for the university’s over 22,000 students.
WU’s roughly 2,100 employees are working continuously to further improve teaching and research quality and campus life in all relevant areas.
Excellent, research-led teaching is extremely important to WU. Through the education we offer our students, we make contributions to sustainable, future-oriented thinking, responsibility in business and economics, and the development of solutions to economic, social, and ecological problems.
One of the goals WU has set itself is to achieve and maintain a place among the world’s leading institutions of higher education. WU is working to strengthen its global profile by offering a range of English-taught master’s programs and also by emphasizing internationalization in its research activities.
WU’s triple accreditation by EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA – the three foremost international accreditations for business and economics universities – is a testimonial of WU’s high quality standards. Fewer than 1% of universities worldwide can claim triple accreditation by EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA. WU is one of only two universities in the German-speaking world to belong to this exclusive group of schools.
WU’s excellent international reputation is reflected in its student population: Roughly one in four students on campus has come to study at WU from abroad.
