“I was looking for a program that would allow me to combine my knowledge in natural science with a profound and extensive training in business and economics. The WU Executive MBA proved to be a perfect fit for my desired objective to continue working in the pharmaceutical industry, but take it a step further and add the international business aspect to my professional resume. The applicability of the program to various industries and its excellent reputation in Austria and abroad make it an obvious choice for business professionals.”

“Participation in the WU Executive MBA program has met and exceeded all my expectations. In a business world where managers have a spectrum of responsibilities to handle, it has given me a well-rounded foundation for achieving my career objective in a global and challenging organization. My goal was to gain better understanding of global business environment and comprehensively improve my managerial skills. This program provided an outstanding stepping block to the next level of my professional development.”

“Working for an international company with a diverse workforce requires understanding of global environment under constant change as well as good interpersonal skills. The WU Executive MBA program combines the best of both worlds with its concentration on general management, change management, and globalization. I left the program with deeper knowledge of major functional business areas and mastered skills in handling new and broader job responsibilities.”

"From what I have experienced in the course of my studies, the Executive MBA is definitely an investment that offers high returns due to the one-of-a-kind networking opportunities, both with faculty and managers from leading companies worldwide. Moreover, the three field trips provided "hands-on" experiences in the most dynamic international markets.

Today, I am a CEO of a premium kitchen manufacturer and fully convinced that the knowledge and tools acquired during the program were highly valuable professional assets and played a strong and decisive role in the competitive advantage of my candidacy."

Philippe Pezet, Executive MBA Class 2008

“It is amazing! I have been teaching executives now for quite a long time but I never experienced a smarter class. They are not only ambitious but very demanding and keen on learning. Groups are cooperating excellently and their input in class discussion really enriches teacher’s life. This MBA is a joy for any faculty.”
