When looking for a master’s program in International Business Management, CUAS made the choice easy. The hands-on approach, combined with the business labs for practical learning, ensures that the core theories we are learning are directly applied to real-world scenarios.

One of the most enriching aspects of my experience has been the diverse, international student cohort. Studying alongside classmates from around the world has not only broadened my perspective, but deepened my intercultural understanding. This in addition to the close-knit learning environment truly sets CUAS apart. The small class sizes foster meaningful connections, both academically and personally, that wouldn’t be possible at larger institutions. As a result, I can confidently say that I know that the bonds I’ve formed here will last a lifetime.

Beyond the classroom, our study excursions provide invaluable opportunities to meet industry professionals, gain first-hand insights into global business practices, and even prompt my interest into potential career paths after graduation.

Outside of academics, the town of Villach offers a unique cultural experience. With Italy and Slovenia less than an hour away, I’ve been able to travel and experience the cross-over between several different cultures.

I am confident that my time at CUAS will launch me into a successful career, equipped with a strong global mindset, a robust network of contacts, and practical business expertise. So for anyone looking to gain a deep understanding of working in an international environment, CUAS is the perfect choice!
