  3. You can upload all the documents required for your application directly in the application tool. You can find out which documents you need in the checklist for Master’s students. Please have these documents ready before you start the application process.

    Applicants with a foreign degree must have their documents translated into German or English by a court certified translator. Please respect the relevant rules of certification for your country. Determining the equivalence of certificates/degrees from foreign countries can take up to three weeks. For this reason we recommend that you upload the relevant documentation in a timely manner.

  4. The computer-based admissions test will take place online. Therefore, you do not need to come to FHWien der WKW.

    Once we have received your documents, you will receive an e-mail requesting that you log in and choose a date for the general business administration test and the real estate specific test.

    The aptitude test is multiple choice, filled out on a computer and evaluates your existing level of knowledge about business administration.

    Depending on your prior knowledge in business administration we recommend the following literature to help you prepare for the general business administration test:

    • Thommen, Jean-Paul / Achleitner, Ann-Kristin: Allgemeine Betriebswirtschaftslehre
    • Kreuzer, Christian: BWL kompakt – Die 100 wichtigsten Themen der Betriebswirtschaft für Praktiker

    The focus of the degree program specific real estate test is on residence law, real estate valuation, structural basics, basics of real estate management, real estate finance and public construction law (building regulations of Vienna). This is because the Master’s degree program in real estate management is not a degree program for beginners, it requires students to have a solid knowledge base.

    We recommend that you read the following literature in preparation for the degree program specific test:

    • Artner / Kohlmaier (Hrsg.): Praxishandbuch Immobilienrecht, 3. Auflage, Linde, 2020
    • Haunold-Kovar-Schuch-Wahrlich: Immobilienbesteuerung, Auflage, Linde 2016
    • Bovenkamp et.al.: Immobilienbesteuerung Neu, Steuerreformgesetz 2020, 5. Auflage, Manz, 2019

    • Faudon/Malai/Trenner: Bauträger- und Projektentwicklungsbeispiele, 4. Auflage, Manz, 2021

    It is not compulsory to read everything, they are just suggestions that you could use to prepare yourself with.
