No, there will be no further consideration. The 40 students mentioned already include an approximate average of students who will choose to decline our offer. The actual cohort sizes we aim for are smaller.

R is taught and used in some of our courses, but we teach programming principles with Python.

No, both our Master programmes Business Analytics and Data Science are taught in English entirely. Please find all information about the recognised proofs of English proficiency at https://studieren.univie.ac.at/en/admission/english-language-proficiency/ You need at least level B2.

No, there is no minimum GPA.

Besides of the required documents for the application, the core will be the motivational letter (also: statement of purpose). There are templates for this letter on our website that you are expected to use. With your application we try to rank two areas: first, your motivation to study this specific programme at our university and second, your eligibility – we check if you have the appropriate background that you can be successful with a high probability. Ideally, you are highly motivated and you are suitable for our programme.

The University of Vienna does not want to give out this information but we can assure that we received many more applications than there are available seats. Please do not underestimate the competition.

Whatever experience you have, put it in your Curriculum Vitae. Even if you have not completed another Master but completed some modules, you can put it in. In the motivation letter (statement of purpose) you are asked about your background and what makes you think that you can succeed in this Master programme. This is true for all different backgrounds.

It depends on your motivation, your suitability and your grades. Coming from a business background is the core target group. Still it is also about what you want to do with your Master’s and if you can convince us that Business Analytics makes sense in this combination and that you are highly able to achieve your goals.

Yes. The major target group is business students of course with an interest in programming. We do not expect high programming skills and therefore start with business background in mind.

Our main target group are students with a business background and some interest in programming. There will be challenging, but basic programming in Python. For a detailed description please see https://ufind.univie.ac.at/en/course.html?lv=040123&semester=2021W

The application is free of charge.

Each academic year, there are 40 places available.
