How do you plan for the unplannable? No one can see into the future. But good managers have the foresight to identify risks early on and the courage to implement innovative solutions. The Master's degree program in Integrated Risk Management allows you to pursue two exciting career paths. With the focus on Risk Management, you will learn to recognize and deal with hazards and threats in a highly dynamic environment. By focusing on Internal Auditing, you will learn to check the effectiveness of the measures taken and report directly to the top management or the Supervisory Board.

However, you do not only see risks as a threat, but are also able to use them as opportunities for your organization thanks to your creativity and decision-making skills. Using your strategic skills, you proactively help shape the future of organizations and support the management in achieving its goals. This requires a structured way of working, assertiveness, but also strategic skills.
You will build a sustainable network from day one of your studies.
We invite you to join us in linking topics and thinking in a completely new way.
Decision-makers and experts in their field will teach you at our university.

To help you deal with the unpredictable in the future, we have been integrating complexity research into our teaching for over ten years. During your studies you will be taught by international experts who will give you insights into the world of state-of-the-art management systems in organizations and prepare you for your work in positions in administration, economy, security or politics. In addition, you have the opportunity to obtain renowned, international certificates (e.g. quality manager, process manager, senior risk manager)
The resilience of companies is more important than ever. Due to the integrated and innovative approach of the Master's degree program in Integrated Risk Management at FH Campus Wien, you will act at the interfaces to risk, process and quality management at the end of your studies. You can set innovative impulses and also see opportunities where others only see risks.
Due to the strong practical relevance of the degree program, you will learn directly in companies and on the basis of real scenarios for the business world.
With this part-time degree program, you are opting for an education that is unique in the German-speaking world and combines risk management with economics, process and quality management as well as internal audit expertise. The integrated approach of the study program is represented by the Three Lines Model, which serves organizations as a basis for a functional control and monitoring system. Integrated Risk Management is a degree program that can be applied in many ways in business, whether in profit or non-profit organizations, corporations or in small and medium-sized enterprises, with which you will secure excellent career opportunities for yourself.
Performance indicators are an essential tool in risk management. It requires both the development of financial and procedural indicators. To meet these requirements, different focuses are set in the first semester:
In the following semesters, you will learn various qualitative and quantitative analysis methods. Thus you will learn to identify potential hazards to analyze operational and strategic risk situations and to develop multidisciplinary approaches to a complex environment. Finally, you will learn to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, the controls and the management and monitoring processes from the perspective of the internal audit. You will acquire the basic authorization for the certificate as a certified internal auditor.
