We were formed to be Europe's top executives!

The UAS BFI Vienna is counted as a small university compared to the very near Vienna University of Economics. But leaving that apart, the UAS BFI Vienna has gained high recognition due to its europe-centred, highly practical studies. I finished my bachelor's degree in "European Economy and Business Management", which I can say, gave me a wide and rich vision on how to create, develop and manage a company on the European market. Right now I'm working for a multinational company based in Austria and my vision and mission is profoundly linked to start my career in Europe. Therefore I would encourage everyone to come and join our big European family!

Small

I like that it's not big , feels like a private university with a very friendly staff . With excellent and professional Lecturers. I would recommend it to invest more on Research and to have a bigger library.

INTERNATIONAL ATMOSPHERE

- Great University. - Great support system from teachers. - You will meet different nationalities. - Recommendable to anyone. I am a Master student in International Management. This course will help you later for working in Multinationals company and also management level.
