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.

interactive learning

I completed my MBA at Modul University Vienna and had a very positive experience throughout the program. One of the aspects I appreciated most was the small class sizes, which made the courses highly engaging and interactive. The learning environment encouraged participation, meaningful discussions, and close interaction with both classmates and lecturers. The university's international atmosphere was another highlight. I had the opportunity to meet students from many different countries and learn about a wide range of cultures and perspectives. This diversity enriched both the academic and social experience. I also valued the international faculty. The lecturers brought knowledge and professional experience from different parts of the world, which broadened my perspective and provided insights into global business practices and challenges. Overall, Modul University Vienna offered a supportive, multicultural, and engaging learning environment that helped me grow both professionally and personally.
