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.
In the course of the proof of the general university entrance qualification, the completion of the following core areas within the framework of the completed bachelor's degree programme shall be examined in any case:
- 92.5 ECTS-Credits in business studies and economics, therefrom at least 50 ECTS-Credits in business subjects
Graduates of the Bachelor's Programme Management and Economics and the Diploma Programme International Economic and Business Studies at the University of Innsbruck automatically meet these qualitative admission requirements. - 15 ECTS-Credits in (management and financial) accounting
- 12.5 ECTS-Credits in marketing, retailing, strategic management, tourism/service management, or public management
- 7.5 ECTS-Credits in mathematics and/or statistics
