The supervision provided by the ACE (Academy for Continuing Education) has a very close relationship with the students. The lecturers and the dean of the institute are excellent in imparting knowledge and show the scientific side of management education. This clearly distinguishes TU Wien from other universities.

An MBA at TU Wien allows you to,
to combine the best of both worlds:
Science and practice. You can not only learn from
first-class professors, but also from
but also from international students from
different industries. A great experience,
that I would not want to miss!
