The degree study programs offer excellent conditions for a starting a professional career or advancement in a variety of sectors.  The planning of courses and scheduling is designed to match the needs of working students as much as possible.

Practice-oriented projects provide an organized space for student engagement, responsibility and creativity.  As a result, students can develop and implement their own meaningful and individually designed ideas.

Memberships in the European University Association (EUA – the largest association of European universities) and Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN – an international association of business schools with the air of improving management training) guarantee the constant exchange and development of teaching and scientific practices.

This model not only enables students to make early contact with reputable companies, but also offers them a solid basis for further professional development in addition to their goal-oriented academic studies.

With currently around 140 international university partners, studying abroad is possible around the globe.  Students who would like to perform an internship abroad are supported as well. In addition to strengthening and broadening their business and economic expertise, participants also acquire social skills and expand their language skills.

Regular excursions to other European countries are an integral part of the curriculum.  Internationality in the academic programs and research is an important element of the study concept.  Degree programs in English enrich the intercultural competence of the students and promote their understanding of other cultures. In addition to career-oriented advantages, there are other relative advantages of an educational program provided in English, especially in regards to personal development.

PLIDA CERTIFICATION FOR ITALIAN LANGUAGE

What is PLIDA?

The PLIDA Certificate is an official Diploma issued by the Dante Alighieri Society under an agreement with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the University of Rome La Sapienza. It attests proficiency in Italian as a foreign language on a 6-level scale according to the parameters established by the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR), from A1 to C2 in progression of difficulty.
Furthermore, the PLIDA Certificate is officially affiliated to ALTE (Association of Language Tester in Europe). This European Association promotes multilingualism in Europe, sets the standards for language evaluation, and guarantees quality and equity in language testing and groups together the language certifications officially recognized in Europe.

Who can take the exam?

The PLIDA Certificate is intended for:

  • students whose mother tongue is not Italian;
  • all Italian citizens with Italian as mother tongue, living abroad and needing a certificate of language competence for study, work or other reasons.

What is the PLIDA Certificate for?

With the PLIDA Certificate you can:

  • Enroll in an Italian University without signing up for an entrance examination in Italian (Level B2 or C1);
  • Specify in a very transparent way your language competence level in Italian in your CV and in job application forms;
  • Register with a professional association to practice certain occupations (e.g., the medical profession);
  • Gain a valid alternative to the South Tyrolean bilingual exam, as PLIDA is recognized from the South Tyrolean Administration;
  • Obtain a residence permit or a long-term residence permit for non-EU citizens.

When:

  • A2, B1, B2, C1 exams will be held on June 24th and 27th 2023.

Where:

  • The exam will take place at International School Carinthia (Rosentaler Str. 15, 9220 Velden am Wörthersee).

The School of Management is proud of its international focus, which is an integrated component of our work and curriculum. Through our research and cooperations, international excursions and the possibilities to study and work abroad, Management students experience an international outlook during their studies. The benefits gained from international experience are widespread and can be seen when students return from semesters studying and working abroad as more open and confident individuals, respectful of other cultures and excited about the possibility of fulfilling their dreams with enhanced employability.

Every year Management students take the decision to spend a semester abroad.

Roughly every second Management student takes advantage of the opportunity to study abroad at one of our numerous international partner universities. The Erasmus+ program offers financial support within the European Union. Of interest, however, is that students today seem to be attracted to destinations beyond Europe! From North, South and Central America over South Africa to Western and Southeast Asia; Management students are using their studies to explore the world!

Our International Partner Universities

Why study abroad?

What do our Business, Digital Business, Hotel, Public and International Business Management students think?

Studying abroad allows you to get to know yourself. Faced with several challenges, you discover your own personal way of solving problems effectively and developing your social skills.

Alena Wieser, Second Year Business Management Student, Freemover, ISCTE Business School, Lisbon, Portugal.

Studying abroad is character building. You learn a few things which you might not have learned at home, so you come back having a few more tools in your toolkit for life.

Krizanovic Ivana, Second Year Digital Business Management Student, Boras, Sweden

Studying abroad has allowed us to explore new hotel concepts and designs, as well as develop our English fluency. In the hospitality industry, it is of the utmost importance to have international experience and intercultural competence.

Christina Dulle, Caroline Wagner, Alina-Maria Viscusi, Second Year Hotel Management Students, Kuala Lumpur Business School, Malaysia

Studying abroad, it is interesting to see how differently cultures perceive and solve problems. This will help me to tackle future challenges from a broader more innovative perspective.

Barbara Prosekar, Second Year Public Management Student, Ljubljana University, Slovenia

Studying abroad is an opportunity to challenge myself and experience a new academic and social environment.

Suzana Jezercic, Final Year International Business Management Master Student, Cologne, Germany

More and more Management students are also choosing to work abroad. Thanks to the Erasmus+ program, students can spend up to twelve months of their studies either working or studying within the European Union. Use the opportunity to enhance your CV!

Last year I decided to spend a semester abroad in Sweden, but what I did not know was that it would change my life. I made the choice to go to Sweden to gain experience for my life and see other places in the world. I chose Sweden because of the ice hockey tradition which Sweden has and my friend and I are in love with ice hockey, but I also favored Sweden because of its fabulous landscape.

It was 9 January 2014 when my friend, Jürgen, and I took a plane to Borås in Sweden to experience a life changing semester abroad. It was the first time I had to be fully responsible for myself and that in another country with another language, culture and many different people with different attitudes to life. That gave me another view of the world.

In the first few weeks, it took some time to feel at home but as we started to meet new people and get to know our surroundings, it became easier and we started to feel at home. Beside the courses which we had to attend, the university organized many events and that is also how my love story in Sweden began.

You are all familiar with the Erasmus baby statistic and a lot of students find their love during the Erasmus period. Yes, it also happened to me. It was on a so called “Tandem” where I met Stina, my girlfriend, for the first time. Tandem allows you to learn a language from a native speaker in exchange for your native language. As you can guess, I was sitting at the German table and that is where it all began. Meeting Stina, on top of all the other amazing experiences, made my stay abroad something really special. I could experience the real Swedish way of life and discover parts of Sweden I might not have seen otherwise.

Furthermore, during my stay in Sweden I got to know so many new people from all over the world. I lived in a student home with my friend. After a few weeks, we soon had our own family. We found new friends and we did a lot together. We cooked, we talked, we laughed, we traveled and we had a lot of fun.

If I had not made the choice to go to Sweden, I would not have seen so many different places. We traveled to Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen and we were in the north of Sweden, in Lapland, where we could see the truly fascinating northern lights.

But now back to my love story. After we first met, it took a while before we met again. I do not know if it was destiny or just luck that I met Stina, but it was the best thing that could have happened to me. After a while we got together and had a great time. For one month, I could live with Stina, in Uddevalla. But there was one thing that  was always had on my mind: the time will come when I have to go home.

The time came and it was hard to say goodbye, but knew it was not forever. I knew Stina would make a semester in Torino, so it was not so far away from my place and we managed to see each other once in a while and stay together. Consequently, I also briefly enjoyed the Italian Erasmus experience. Again, I could see something new, which I would not have seen if I had not met Stina.

After a long search, I also managed to find an internship in Sweden and so I am again in Sweden with Stina. I know it will not get easier but I know that it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

So take the step and go abroad. It is well worth a try. I have never regretted my choice because no one can take this experience from me, experiences which have enriched my life both personally and professionally.

The Key to Successful International Teamwork

Every year our students choose to spend a semester abroad at one of our many university partners across the globe. One of the key skills they develop during this period is the ability to work in international teams, a challenge they mastered! Here is what they think the key to successful international teamwork is:

The key to successful international teamwork is being open-minded, showing an understanding for other cultures and good English skills.

Management students, Caroline Wagner, Christina Dulle, Alina-Maria Viscusi (from left to right), spent a semester at University Kuala Lumpur Business School, Malaysia

The key to successful international teamwork is being cooperative, learning from one another and seeing things in a more relaxed manner.

Management students, Karoline Rauter and Lisa-Marie Makoru, spent a semester at Istanbul Bilgi University in Turkey.

The key to successful international teamwork is being open minded and speaking with people without any doubt about your language skills.

Management student, Sonja Hammerschmid, spent a semester in Lille at EDHEC Business School in France.

The key to successful international teamwork is learning about differences and open-mindedness.

Management student, Ivana Krizanovic, spent a semester studying in Sweden at the University of Borås.

The key to successful international teamwork is being flexible.

When working in an international team, it is necessary to be able to adapt to the situation at hand, as well as to the different team members. The working approaches between the members usually differ substantially, therefore, it is always necessary to adapt and meet somewhere in the middle.

Management student, Suzana Jezercic, spent a semester studying in Cologne during her Master studies in International Business Management.

School of Management International Incoming Students

Every semester, the School of Management is happy to welcome international exchange students to our program. Students from our university partners across the globe choose to spend one or even two semesters studying at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences and attend courses on either our International Program or our regular Bachelor and Master courses in English or German.  See what they think…

“Choosing CUAS as my home for one semester has left a print in my heart and I would never trade it for anything else.”

Learning by doing - das Berufspraktikum

Ein besonders wichtiger Bestandteil des Studienplans des Bachelorstudiums im Bereich Wirtschaft & Management ist das Berufspraktikum. Im sechsten Semester arbeiten die Studierenden in Unternehmen und Einrichtungen der öffentlichen Hand. Die Aufgaben und Projekte stehen dabei in einem engen Zusammenhang mit dem gewählten Studienzweig. Durch das Berufspraktikum haben die Studierenden die Möglichkeit, das erworbene Wissen praxisorientiert anzuwenden und ihre Kompetenzen "on-the-job" zu erweitern. 

Zwingende Voraussetzung für ein erfolgreiches Praktikum ist die weitgehend selbstständige Durchführung von Projekten, unterstützt durch eine/n MentorIn am betreffenden Arbeitsplatz. Während des Praktikums steht jedem Studierenden auch ein praxiserfahrener Hochschullehrender des Studienbereichs als persönlicher Ansprechpartner zur Verfügung. Dieses „Back-up“ stellt sicher, dass die Studierenden bei auftretenden Fragen auf fachliches Know-how zurückgreifen können.

Durch die im Praktikum absolvierten Aufgaben und gesammelten Erfahrungen ergibt sich häufig ein Thema für das Verfassen der Abschlussarbeit. Zusätzlich werden wichtige erste Kontakte mit potentiellen Arbeitgebern geknüpft. Nicht selten ist es auch der Fall, dass aus dem Praktikum ein konkretes Jobangebot resultiert.  

Practice-oriented business education & profile-building specializations

SPECIFIC KEY AND FUTURE SKILLS

The Bachelor study program in Management offers a compact, practice-oriented basic education in economics. In addition, there is a strong focus on teaching key and future skills tailored to the respective branches of study (6 German-language and 2 English-language) from the first semester onwards. This profile-building specialization accounts for more than half of the total course content. Current topics such as sustainability, digitality, internationality and diversity are an integral part of many modules.


PRACTICAL RELEVANCE

The high practical relevance of the study program is ensured by close cooperation with regional, national and international companies as well as the use of experienced lecturers from industry, business and institutions, who bring current topics and new developments from professional practice into the study program or can also be experienced in excursions. The students' transfer skills are strengthened by working on specific and current practical tasks.


Degree program management full-time: modern study time model

In the full-time study program, the modules are divided into two semesters with an intermediate or final examination week. This enables focused learning and makes it easier for students to plan the time required to complete their examinations.


Innovative study time model - perfect match of studying, working & living

We support part-time students with an innovative study time model: the modules per semester are implemented in sequences. This enables focused learning on the module content. The module is completed immediately after the end of the module sequence by means of an examination. This leads away from the parallel learning of a lot of content with a high mental load, towards focused work on individual content and thus more effective learning.

This study model promotes a high proportion of varied classroom teaching, which takes place in sequences on only a few weekends per semester (Thurs: 4:50 - 8:10 pm, Fri: 9:20 - 4:50 pm, Sat: 8:30 - 4:00 pm) and is supplemented by interactive online teaching units (depending on the module, Tue and/or Wed evenings: 5:50 - 9:00 pm or Sat: 8:30 - 4:00 pm). In order to ensure planning security for the usually tight time budget, the weekends of the course are already fixed two years in advance.

STUDY REQUIREMENTS

The part-time degree program requires at least two years of relevant professional experience. This ensures that students can also generate significant added value by exchanging experiences and networking with their colleagues.

Research

The ISMA (Interdisciplinary Studies in Management) Research Center coordinates the research activities of the Business & Management study program. The special characteristic of the research at the department is its interdisciplinarity: representatives from the fields of business administration and economics, law, political science and administration, cultural studies and computer science work closely together at the department.

Under the guiding principle of application orientation, the ISMA Research Center conducts in-house, contract and third-party funded research in close cooperation with partners from industry, the public sector and science. The satisfaction of the cooperation partners as well as a high research quota, also in comparison with other universities of applied sciences, are the result of a distinguished research. Application-oriented research and the constant feedback to practice are guarantors for current, new developments and reflective teaching, in which the students benefit directly from the research.

The interdisciplinary team of the ISMA Research Center at the Department of Business & Management is currently working in six main research areas:
  • Modernization of the Public Sector
  • Business development and international business activities
  • Regional economy and tourism
  • Sustainable development and qualitative growth
  • Digitisation and new technologies
  • Demographic and social change

Campus

Villach

The Villach region combines tradition, cosmopolitanism and quality of life with the advantages of an innovative business location. Villach, a small town with about 60,000 inhabitants, is an international high-tech location with groundbreaking cooperation between science and industry and is also increasingly developing into a start-up town.

Situated directly at the intersection of three cultures, Villach, situated on the Drava river, is an important traffic junction in the Alps-Adriatic region. This special geographical location and the beautiful landscape around Villach and in the federal state of Carinthia have made the region a popular holiday destination for generations, further beyond the borders. The drinking water quality of the lakes and the particularly clean air make Villach and its surroundings an environmental paradise.

In addition to its geographical advantages, Austria also leads the world in terms of its social and health care system and is considered a particularly safe, prosperous and liveable country.

Despite the above-average prosperity and the comprehensive state social benefits, Villach compares favourably with many international destinations. The "small town bonus" comes into its own here and makes everyday life affordable.
