Vienna University of Economics and Business (reviews)

Everything is expected from new employees, while nothing is to be offered. Suitable for friends and families of the current staff, good students are punished and reduced to silence through unnecessary, unpleasant practices.

At the beginning the course structure is quite unclear but you will get used to it. The further along you are with your studies the more course options you have and can really choose what you like. The professors take time to get to know you and help each student. I would recommend this university if you are willing organize yourself.

Being an online student for the first part of my studies in Vienna has been very challenging. The universities handled the pandemic gracefully and beneficially to their students. Although everybody was able to come back on campus.

The biggest recommendation before starting your studies would be to talk with former students and create your personalized study program. WU can be a great university yet the Austrian upper education system can create artificial study barriers such as not enough spots per course that can slow down your rhythm.

In order to best make use of your time at WU, my recommendation would be to already get in touch with students and create study groups to move along your studies together.
