Applications for study programs at Innsbruck University must be submitted online. Please follow the instructions via the following link. For further questions concerning your application, please approach the Admission Department.

Admission to the master's degree program Strategic Management and Innovation requires the skill to combine a profound knowledge of strategy, organization, marketing, finance, and accounting required for strategic management with knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods. It is assumed that this knowledge has been attained if both equivalence of a bachelor’s degree and qualitative requirements are fulfilled as follows:

• 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

Graduates of the Bachelor's Program Management and Economics and the Diploma Program International Economic and Business Studies at the University of Innsbruck automatically meet these qualitative admission requirements.

In general, it is possible to enroll in the study program in the spring and winter semesters. The actual start of the program, however, is in October. In case you enroll yourself in spring, you may only take courses of the elective courses which do not build on compulsory completion of mandatory courses, so it is highly recommended to start in October.

No.

Officially, you can enroll at the University of Innsbruck until 31st October. However, the courses in the master's program Strategic Management start right at the beginning of the semester (i.e., beginning of October) and are consecutive. This means that you need to be enrolled right by the beginning of October for participating in the courses.
We, therefore, recommend that you apply for the master's program by the beginning/middle of July at the latest. Above all, please consider that the review of your documents takes time, and the earliest possible application is only for your benefit.

If you apply for the MSc Strategic Management, you must prove English language skills at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) at the time of application.For further information please visit the page of the study department: Language Certificates.

Our program is taught in English. However, knowing a few German sentences helps a lot in getting along.
