Introduction
Create - Taste - Sell
What better place to study management fundamentals for the international wine business than in the heart of one of Austria’s most important wine growing regions? Our International Wine Business bachelor's degree covers various fundamental aspects of business administration and looks at the key features of the wine industry.
It goes without saying that you will focus on wine and wine growing during your degree. You’ll find out what makes the perfect vineyard location and about the role played by the vines. You will acquire expertise in winegrowing, wine production, grape varieties and wine styles. Other key aspects of the programme include international wine law, sensory assessment of wine, and wine treatment and analysis methods. So at the end of your degree you will have all the tools needed to evaluate wine production under specific conditions in Austria and abroad.
A particularly attractive option is the dual degree we offer in conjunction with the KEDGE Business School - Campus Bordeaux, France.
