Both in brief

A business university of applied sciences focused on finance, management and digitalisation, with many programmes alongside a job. In Leopoldstadt, close to the Danube Canal and the Prater.

One of Europe’s most respected business universities, internationally accredited. The modern campus by the Prater — with Zaha Hadid’s sweeping library — is a small world of its own between greenery and short transit hops. International and well connected for students, a name with weight for parents.
