Proof of general university entrance qualification:
The general university entrance qualification for admission to a master's programme must be proven by the completion of a subject-related bachelor's programme, another subject-related programme of at least the same higher education level at a recognised domestic or foreign post-secondary educational institution, or a program defined in the curriculum of the master's programme. To compensate for significant differences in subject matter, supplementary examinations (maximum 30 ECTS credits) may be prescribed, which must be taken by the end of the second semester of the master's programme. The rectorate may determine which of these supplementary examinations are prerequisites for taking examinations provided for in the curriculum of the master's programme.
The following qualitative admission requirements pursuant to § 63a para. 1 UG also apply:
- Ability to combine business and economic knowledge with reference to an international context as well as sound knowledge of foreign business languages, which is a prerequisite for international management, with qualitative and quantitative methodological knowledge of economics. This knowledge is deemed to have been acquired if courses amounting to at least 15 ECTS-Credits from the field of business administration with an international focus, at least 15 ECTS-Credits from the field of economics with an international focus and at least 10 ECTS-Credits from the field of foreign business languages have been successfully completed.
- Valid GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) with at least 550 points or GMAT Focus with at least 525 points (not older than two years at the time of application). Instead of the GMAT, an overall grade between 1.0 and 2.8 is also valid if a relevant degree program (according to § 3 para. 2) was completed at the University of Innsbruck."
