    Modul University Vienna: Global learning in a world-class city

    Atop the scenic Kahlenberg mountain, Modul University Vienna offers a panoramic view of Vienna, the world’s second most liveable city (Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Index 2025). Its setting is a perfect reflection of what students can expect: a peaceful, welcoming environment that feels safe, supportive, and full of possibility from day one to graduation and beyond. Here, success is about academics, careers and thriving in every aspect of the university experience.

    All degree programmes at Modul University are taught in English, welcoming ambitious students from around the world and equipping them to apply knowledge confidently, no matter their background.  With small class sizes, one-on-one mentoring, and professors who are genuinely invested in your success, you’ll be supported as a person and not just as a name on a list. The care goes beyond the classroom, too. From visa and residency guidance to post-graduation support, Modul University ensures you’re prepared every step of the way.

    Hence, the university’s student body represents every corner of the globe. As a student here, you will be immersed in an environment where different perspectives are welcomed and celebrated. Most importantly, you’ll learn just as much from your peers as you will from your professors.

    “Studying in an international environment introduced me to diverse perspectives and cultures,” says Fayaz Ahamed Meerasha, an MBA graduate. “This experience enhanced my ability to work in multicultural teams and understand global market dynamics, which is crucial in today’s interconnected world.”

    Real learning that prepares you for life

    Just like the city it calls home, Modul University embodies a spirit of progress. Vienna is known for its forward-thinking urban planning and innovation, a living laboratory that reminds students that ideas can translate into reality, no matter how far-fetched they seem at first.

    That connection to the real world makes a huge difference. Modul University believes the best learning happens when students are encouraged to apply the knowledge they’ve absorbed. Leadership, resilience, and adaptability are nurtured through real-world challenges, self-reflection, and a culture that rewards those who go the extra mile.

    That combination leaves a lasting impact. “The analytical skills which I learned at Modul University have helped me a lot in my day-to-day job,” says Tayita Youngcharoen, an MSC in International Tourism Management graduate.

    “The solid foundation in communication taught me logical thinking and how to hold discussions with senior management teams. It was a great experience to be a part of the MU culture.”

    At the heart of that experience is a commitment to independent thought, original research, and critical inquiry. This academic ethos mirrors Vienna’s legacy as a global centre of science, philosophy, and the arts. So, whether you’re pursuing international management, sustainability, data science, or tourism, Modul University equips you to tackle today’s complex challenges with curiosity and confidence.

    The beauty of Vienna

    Vienna’s cultural landscape itself, from opera houses and art museums to independent film festivals and underground music venues, is an education on its own. Living in such a city means constant exposure to new ideas, art forms, and ways of thinking, all of which fuel creativity and broaden horizons.

    This kind of cultural richness is hard to replicate. Whether you’re spending your weekends taking in a classical concert at the Musikverein, browsing contemporary art in the MuseumsQuartier, or simply walking through the historic streets of the First District, there will always be something new to absorb. And because these experiences are accessible, they become a natural extension of your learning journey.

    That’s the beauty of studying in Vienna, especially at Modul University. Everything fits together. The city supports a high quality of life that keeps students grounded and comfortable, while its culture pushes them to explore and think critically. The university enhances this by offering academic programmes that are globally relevant and personally enriching, all within a community that celebrates individuality and shared purpose.

    Clearly, the launchpad you choose is just as important as the discipline you pursue. In Vienna, and particularly at Modul University, best believe you will spend an equal amount of time achieving a degree and building a life shaped by excellence and collaboration.

    “Some advice for upcoming students: make as many friends as possible, go to the trips and events the university offers, and enjoy your university journey,” shares Alessandra Martí Frech, a current BS in International Management student.
