Why study Business and Law at the University of Klagenfurt?

Our student Michael has the answer to your question!

You are special. So are we.

This is what makes the degree programme so special

  • Practical AND theoretical: Professionals in business administration don’t simply do stuff, but rather: they know exactly what to do. And they know that whatever they do leads to success. With the knowledge you learn here in Klagenfurt you will be state of the art, and can put what you have learned straight into practice. To give you a taste of the genuine business atmosphere while you are still studying, you can complete an internship – the hours will be credited as part of your studies!
  • Can’t decide whether to do business or law? You don’t have to! Our Bachelor's programme in Business and Law offers you the necessary foundations for both. This is your chance to keep all your career options open.
  • International setting: More young international people study at Klagenfurt University than at other universities. Spanish, Russian, English, Chinese – we offer a wide range of language classes to help you prepare for your career, wherever you choose to live and work.
  • We will accompany you on your journey. Are you nervous about disappearing among the masses of students at a large university? That won’t happen to you here in Klagenfurt. For us you are not just one among many, you are special, even in our so-called “large-scale” degree programmes. We want to know who you are, what moves you and what you want to achieve. That’s why we offer very good supervision arrangements, small seminars and compact working groups.

Studying at a university of international excellence

The University of Klagenfurt consistently achieves top positions in internationally renowned rankings. According to the THE Young University Rankings 2022, it ranks among the best young universities in the world and is currently ranked 77th in the world. The University of Klagenfurt also scored outstanding results in the THE Subject Rankings 2022: Social Sciences (ranking group 151-175), Computer Science (ranking group 201-250), Engineering (ranking group 201-250), Physical Sciences (ranking group 251-300), Business & Economics (ranking group 251-300).

Focused studies. Our core topics

  • Company Law: What constitutes a company, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the different forms of incorporation, how should invoices be prepared and what are the rules governing business transactions? These are the issues that will be addressed in this area of study.  
  • Private Law: Private law regulates the legal relationships between (private) citizens.
  • Public Law: In contrast to Private Law, Public Law regulates the organisation of the State and the relationship between the citizens and the State.
  • Labour and Social Law: What rights do employees have and what should be taken into account when drawing up employment contracts? Matters of human resources involve the application of Labour and Social Law.
  • Accounting: The performance of a company is expressed in figures. We introduce you to bookkeeping and financial accounting.
  • Taxation: Companies want to operate in a “tax-friendly” way. Here in Klagenfurt you will learn the most important basics of business tax theory and tax law. For those who would like to work as a tax consultant at a later date, this degree programme offers those important first training steps.
  • Controlling and Strategic Corporate Management: Just how well a company performs can be measured by a wealth of data. Controllers keep an eye on the key metrics and are therefore able to inform the decisions of corporate management. 
  • Corporate Finance: How can companies optimise their capital structure? What dividend policy should be pursued? How are decisions on investments made and how is the value of a company determined? In this area, you will receive answers to these questions and many more besides.
  • Non-profit Management: Non-profit organisations should also be run profitably – to maximise environmental, human rights or educational benefits. We can show you what to pay particular attention to when dealing with NPOs.
  • Public Management: It's not only private companies that need to be well managed, the public sector needs good managers too.  
  • Economics: In any given society, goods and factors of production are produced and distributed, but we, as human beings, also act "economically", i.e. we generate benefits for the individual or for a community.

Your skills are our mission. This is what we can teach you

We help you to acquire scientific skills, and you can use them to good effect. Business decisions often have far-reaching consequences: They determine the economic success of companies and public institutions – and ultimately affect people’s jobs. Those who make knowledge-based decisions have a clear advantage! Anyone who, in addition to this, can always be sure that they are on legally sound ground enjoy a bonus that will really pay off in their future career.

  • Everything you need for the practical setting. Around 40 percent of our lecturers are highly successful in the professional field. What we offer is nothing out of this world, but rather we allow you to take flight.
  • Triumph with soft skills. The world of work needs team players who can work creatively and purposefully, regardless of subjects and cultures. In our seminars you will learn how to boost inspiration and efficiency in group work. Here you will learn to become a moderator and manager of projects.
  • Reaching for the sky after graduation. Many of our graduates enter professional life straight after their Bachelor’s degree. However, others are eager for more. At the University of Klagenfurt, we are able to offer you Master’s degree programmes, which are specially tailored to you: Business and Law (this programme allows you to continue your studies) as well as Business Law (in cooperation with the University of Vienna and with an even stronger focus on law, after which you will have full access to all legal professions).

Introductory orientation period (STEOP)

The introductory orientation phase grants students an overview of the key elements of the degree programme and of the course of studies ahead. Thus, it provides a factual basis for the personal evaluation of the choice of degree programme. As students must successfully complete the introductory orientation phase in order to continue their studies, it is recommended that the introductory orientation phase should be scheduled during the first semester. The introductory orientation phase accounts for 10 ECTS credits and includes the courses "Introduction to Business Administration" and "Introduction to Economics", and "Basic Concepts of Public and Private Law".

Recommended course of study

Entrepreneurship Center Carinthia, inspire! Labs and FabLab, we can offer you three innovation labs right on campus.

Europe’s largest drone hall

With a floor area measuring up to 150 square metres and a height of ten metres, researchers investigating drones have access to cutting-edge research infrastructure at the University of Klagenfurt. This places the Drone-Hub Klagenfurt firmly among the world leaders in this field. The drone technology refined in Klagenfurt will also be on board NASA‘s Mars mission in 2021 and will be used to explore the Red Planet.
