Global Executive MBA

Two internationally recognised degrees, one elite international business program.

The Best of Both Worlds: One Course, Two MBA Degrees

The Global Executive MBA program is the result of a groundbreaking partnership between two of the world’s most respected business universities: the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna) and the University Of Minnesota.

Because of this unique arrangement, graduates receive both a European MBA award and an MBA from the USA, meaning they earn two highly respected and recognised qualifications from just one program.

Learn from the Finest Minds in the Business World

This revolutionary program aims to bring together the insights of business leaders from all over the world to provide students with one truly unique 360˚global perspective.

To fulfil this vision, WU Executive Academy has brought together a faculty made up of the most respected business experts from different fields all over the world, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences to the table. Students also gain firsthand insights into the inner workings of successful enterprises through a series of visits to local and international companies.

International Immersion

An MBA Experience With A Lasting Impact

To really capture and fully understand business ecosystems across the globe, you need to leave your comfort zone and immerse yourself in countries, cultures and companies you may not have experienced before. The International Immersion is the highlight of our MBA program and will take you to these uncharted territories. It equals venturing out to the global business arena, to different countries so as to explore how cultural and societal connections, the political landscape, macro-economic conditions and many other aspects affect how companies, large or small, domestic or international, do business in different parts of the world.

  • Look around with an inquisitive mindset and open your horizon to calibrate and refine your perception of the world
  • Immerse yourself into an international business ecosystem that is a perfect fit for your program focus
