Combining Technological Expertise and Management Skills

A key factor behind the positive evaluation is the practical combination of technological know-how and business acumen. The goal is to equip executives with exactly the skills they need to successfully apply technological developments in real-world settings.

Part-time, Modular, and Flexible

Our MBA programs are specifically designed to be pursued alongside a full-time job. The modular structure allows participants to absorb content in flexible time frames and apply it directly to their day-to-day professional lives. This enables participants to effectively balance continuing education with their careers.

Practical Relevance and Real-World Application

The content of the MBA programs is closely aligned with real business challenges. Case studies, hands-on projects, and lectures from renowned industry experts ensure immediate applicability and help participants tackle real-life professional challenges more effectively.

Networking and Knowledge Exchange

A major added value lies in the intensive exchange within student groups and with experts from various industries. Our alumni often report that this opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and experts has been highly valuable to their long-term career development.

Alumni Experiences Highlight Program Value

Our graduates consistently emphasize how crucial high-quality, up-to-date education is for their daily work. Dean Güttel notes:

“Our alumni’s experiences demonstrate how combining technological and business skills can create real value for both companies and society. Their stories encourage us to continuously improve our programs and adapt them to participants' evolving needs.”

Methodology  of the INDUSTRIEMAGAZIN Ranking

The INDUSTRIEMAGAZIN ranking is based on an extensive survey conducted by the market research institute Brandscore. As part of this study, 200 Austrian CEOs and HR managers were asked to evaluate MBA programs and share their experiences regarding career and salary progression post-graduation, as well as key decision-making criteria such as practical relevance and level of innovation.

The strong results underscore the quality and relevance of TU Wien Academy’s MBA programs and motivate us to continue developing practical, up-to-date continuing education opportunities for executives.
