Focused studies. Our focal topics

  • Accounting: The performance of a company is expressed in figures. We introduce you to bookkeeping and financial accounting.
  • 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. Here in Klagenfurt you will gain a holistic and analytical view of all economic matters – be they large or small.
  • International Economics: How is the global exchange of goods organised and who is in the lead when it comes to import-export balance sheets? Which new markets can be developed globally? But also: What are the effects of our economic system on global inequality and what can we do to counteract them?
  • Service Management: Around 70 percent of total value added in Austria (as in Germany) can be attributed to the service sector. So it’ s definitely worth the effort to keep developing services. We introduce you to market research, customer satisfaction and loyalty management, quality and customer complaint management.
  • 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 management decisions.
  • 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.
  • Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship: Admittedly, there are those who get together with friends to tinker on a new product in their garage, make a pitch for a million-dollar investment and then triumph on the world market. To bring innovations to market, you also need luck. We will provide you with the knowledge you need to ensure your entrepreneurial fortune is lasting.
  • Marketing and International Management: Products and services have to be marketed in order to ultimately find consumers – regionally as well as globally. We introduce you to market-oriented business management.
  • Energy and Sustainability: In which direction is e-mobility developing and how can money be earned in the long term using sustainable means? We will work with you to find answers to these questions.
  • Human Resources, Management and Organisation: While flat hierarchies dominate in one company and people tend to be on familiar terms, at another, strict processes might help to ensure clear structures. Very often a company’s approach to its staff and the way it defines itself as an organisation is critical to its success. We can show you what human resources management is really all about.
  • Production management and logistics: How do you deliver emergency supplies to disaster areas? What are the global networks that shape the production of goods? We take a closer look behind the global supply chains.
  • Public Management: It’s not only private companies that need to be well managed, the public sector needs good managers too.
  • Law: We will teach you the fundamentals of law that you will later use in your professional work in the business sphere.
  • 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. At the same time, we will also take a look at international tax law.
  • Sociology: The individual is not alone in the world. Neither can the economy be detached from society. Gain a deeper insight into our social behaviour.

 

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 management 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!

  • 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: Applied Business Administration with the branches of study Energy and Environmental Management, Entrepreneurship and General Management, but also International Management (in English) and Media and Convergence Management (in English).

Best prospects. Your professional opportunities

  • Internationally versatile all-round talent with enhanced decision-making skills: The Bachelor’s degree in International Business and Economics qualifies you to take on roles as a responsible, reflective and critical decision-maker and facilitator in international business contexts.
  • Create your own start-up: The degree programme equips you with all the tools you need to start your own business. Be your own boss, turn your business idea into reality and distribute it around the world!
  • Economics: You will learn to determine which markets have the potential for growth and are suitable targets for your company. Many corporations have come to appreciate the holistic and analytical view, thus ensuring that success does not only serve the company, but is beneficial for all of us.
  • All things financial: Controlling and finance departments offer well-paid positions everywhere for those who enjoy working with numbers!
  • Innovation Management: New things are good. But new things need fertile economic soil in order to flourish. You will emerge as an innovation expert who can successfully cultivate new market segments.
  • Service Management: Keeping customers is less expensive than winning new ones. Either way, you need properly organised service processes.
  • Human Resources Development: Headhunters, or so-called human resources managers, are often used in the race for the best brains.
  • Marketing/Advertising: If customers do not perceive a desire to make a purchase, even the best product or the best service won’t be sold. We’ll transform you into a versatile marketing professional.
  • Production and Logistics: What is produced and where? And how does it get from A to B – and ultimately to the customer? If you can keep a cool head and take well-founded decisions in the midst of the ever more complex global network, you too will join the corporate ranks of the high-flyers.
