“Bachelor abroad in Vienna”

Daniel A

Austria, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2019

Overall

Doing complete bachelor studies abroad is definitely an interesting experience. The University of Economics here in Vienna offers lot of opportunities to keep developing yourself in various fields abroad as well. The courses are very compact and there are lot of visiting professors as well. All in all, I am very satisfied with this university.

Pros

Practical approach, contacts with firms

Go to Krakow in Poland, skiing in Innsbruck, Interlaken in Switzerland, Prague in Czech Republic, Croatia and the Oktoberfeat in Munich, Germany. Get a VorteilsKarte(half price train tickets). Travel out to the Vienna outskirts as they are lovely.

Do every activity the OEH organizes, they have been great. Take only the classes you are really interested in and concentrate on them. there is a high risk of getting lost with all the opportunities one is offered.

“Good university but not much practical skills”

Evelin K

Finland, Graduate
Business Studies, 2022

Overall

The university has a very good rating and is popular among European students. There are many international students with Erasmus as well and the school has many partner universities around the globe. However, it did not give my the desired practical knowledge or skills I would have had wished.

Pros

connections to professionals

Cons

practical teaching

Go! If you want to see Europe, this is the cheapest and best city to base yourself from. It's central, it has such an interesting youth culture, though I definitely would not pick it for academic reasons (speaking from the English-language course perspective. German courses are difficult).
