Export-Oriented Management

In many highly industrialised countries every second job is directly or indirectly connected with the export sector. The removal of most trade-barriers worldwide and the enlargement of the European Union are reasons for a rising number of actual and potential export-partners leading to an increasing need for qualified personnel.

The bachelor's programme Export-Oriented Management has been designed in close co-operation with the Austrian industry, and the contents of the programme and our training priorities have been selected and defined jointly with our business partners.

Our goal is to ensure the “employability”, the professional success of our graduates. The aim of the bachelor's programme Export-Oriented Management is to provide the students with a comprehensive training in the export industry and the management of international projects.

This training is on the one hand characterised by practice-orientation and on the other hand by a strong academic component. Graduates are able to take over operational management tasks in private and public corporations, which have an export-related, i.e. international orientation.

The bachelor's programme therefore aims at students who are interested in international relations and business activities, in export trade and project management and who are keen on learning foreign languages and getting to know other countries and cultures.

In this context young adults are educated and trained to show a high degree of flexibility and mobility, to be able to communicate in at least four different languages and to gain working experience abroad for at least half a year.

Training is the most expensive capital investment we’ve got to know.
