Working in Austria

Sound German skills (minimum level B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) are a requirement for working in Austria. We strongly recommend attending a German language course prior to and/or while studying at WU Vienna.

WU Business Language Center offers a pre-semester German language course for incoming exchange students, as well as German courses during the semester. You will receive more information about how to register once you have been nominated.

The WU ZBP Career Center supports students and graduates in entering professional life and forms an interface between the university and the job market. More information on working in Austria is available here.

Confirmation of foreign academic achievement

After successful completion of your classes at QUT (see curriculum), please make sure that your QUT transcript is sent to your coordinator at WU Vienna’s International Office. You will receive a final grade based on your grade average (weighted according to your credits), which will be displayed on your WU Vienna transcript for the subject “Double Degree Studies.” WU Vienna’s International Office will arrange for your grade to be transferred.
