What our students say

"IBM is the right study program if you wish to increase your understanding of global markets and the interconnection between various regions of the world. As the globalization continuously grows demand for individuals who understand the global context in business, the IBM program will equip you with the proper skills to meet those requirements. You will learn about diverse cultures, societies, technologies, economics, politics and legal practices and you will be challenged to change perspectives when solving issues."

"After closing the chapter of being an IBM student at CUAS, it is fairly interesting to look back, reminiscing how it all had begun. I had done my Bachelor’s in Export-oriented Management in Krems, Lower Austria, not far from my home town. I loved the small-town flair over there, but at the same time I knew that I wanted and maybe even needed to encounter new perspectives, somehow to broaden my horizon."

Manuel Beisser, MA
Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer, Rosenbauer, Linz/Leonding

"After my Bachelor’s study, I was researching for a suitable Master’s program across Europe. In addition to the clear international focus and the mixed group of people from different nationalities, CUAS mainly stands out with its focus on intercultural competences and the CEE/SEE region. I also loved the possibility to learn another language. Thanks to the job-friendly schedule, I was able to handle a part time job and work in project management for European research projects beside my studies."
