Focus & Qualifications

The teaching concept of the Digital Marketing certificate course is characterized by a high degree of practical relevance, innovative teaching and learning methods, as well as adaptation to the needs of working students, with the focus on working in small groups.

The courses take place on one or two weekend blocks per month at FHWien der WKW. Online participation in these events is also possible. Interdisciplinary teams of lecturers from the field ensure that the various business, communication science and technical aspects of digital marketing are covered and interlinked.
