Vienna’s city management is a model for many political systems and urban centers. At the same time, the federal capital is the location of important international organizations and diplomatic missions. Against this background, the English-language, interdisciplinary Master course aims to combine the topics of diplomacy, administration, political management and applied political science. High potentials in international and municipal organizations will develop their leadership and management skills and specialize in international affairs and urban policy.

You work in administration or in an international environment and would like to significantly expand your professional portfolio. “Think global” is not simply a catchphrase for you, but reflects your entire mindset. You are able to view developments in a larger context and recognize multidimensional connections. Complexity does not frighten you, but instead encourages you to uncover structures and potential in order to achieve good solutions. In any case, your aim is to share social responsibility and to professionalize administrative processes and decisions.
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.
Do you still have questions about the study?

Information for applicants with non-Austrian (school) certificates (PDF 145 KB)
To apply you will require the following documents:
Please note:
It is not possible to save incomplete online applications. You must complete your application in one session. Your application will be valid as soon as you upload all of the required documents and certificates. In the event that some documents (e.g. references) are not available at the time you apply, you may submit these later via email, mail or in person by no later than the start of the degree program.
The admission procedure is a two-step process. In the first step, all the formal requirements are examined. In addition, the curriculum vitae and the letter of motivation are important elements that provide information about your previous performance. If the basic eligibility for acceptance is fulfilled, applicants will be invited to an admission interview. This interview is conducted on the basis of a structured guideline and (for applicants without a degree) also serves to review basic scientific knowledge through the completion of special tasks.
There are only a limited number of places available for students who have not completed a degree program. In order to ensure the inter-subjectivity of the results, the admission interview is conducted by at least two people from the core team of the academic course. The specializations are only offered if there are a minimum number of participants.
A commission decides on the suitability of applicants in individual cases.
The program fee is determined according to the actual costs. In addition to the tuition fee, you will also have to pay the ÖH student union fee (ÖH premium) each semester.
Variant A assumes that you will complete and pay for the entire program. In this model, you will pay the entire fee prior to the start of the program in a single payment of € 13.500,-.
Single payment: € 13.500,-
(Due approximately 4 weeks before the start of the first semester.)
This model offers you the possibility to pay the program fee in four installments of € 3.550,-. If you decide to leave the program early, you will still have to pay the entire fee.
Installment per semester: € 3.500,- (total amount: € 14.000,-)
(In each case due about four weeks prior to the start of the semester)
This model takes into account the possibility of leaving the program after each semester and is ideal for those who want to keep the option open to leave the program early.
First, second and third semester, each: € 4.450,-
Fourth semester: € 2.000,- (total amount € 15.350,-)
(In each case due about four weeks prior to the start of the semester.)
Financial aid is available for academic courses, master courses and for courses and seminars.
You can find information about funding agencies under grants and scholarships.
As a qualified employee in international and municipal organizations, this English-language Master course provides you with well-founded academic training with extensive expertise in leadership and management.
We take into account your specific needs by offering two specializations: International Affairs and Urban Policy. You will get to know management tools that support you in mastering specific problems in international affairs and in urban politics and develop guidelines for sustainable solutions in an urban, as well as international environment.
You combine your professional experience with profound scientific know-how and benefit from access to current research in Applied Political Sciences. During the course you will work on current topics and questions from your own professional experience. In a lively exchange with your fellow students and lecturers, you will build a network in which the latest knowledge circulates. The City of Vienna actively supports this network.
Many of the lecturers are top experts with management responsibility who come from public administration or renowned universities. You contribute current topics from your successful professional practice. You are also invited to join our fireside chats for an in-depth and practice-oriented exchange.
You will conclude the program with an internationally recognized Master of Arts in Diplomacy and International Relations (with a specialization in International Affairs or Urban Policy).
The Master course benefits from its close cooperation with the City of Vienna. With its political and administrative experience in public services and city management, Vienna is a role model for many metropolises and urban areas and is an important source of knowledge.
We place great emphasis on imparting intercultural knowledge as well as digital skills, especially in the areas of e-governance and e-diplomacy. You will apply this knowledge in city diplomacy as an international instrument of local urban administration, with the aim of creating a prosperous and sustainable environment.
The program opens up new perspectives for European and international governance and for networking between regional and international institutions, for example through a study trip to EU institutions in Brussels and international organizations in Vienna.
Would you like to expand your professional experience? Optionally, you can complete an internship with an international organization in or outside Vienna or with municipal departments of the City of Vienna.
You will combine basic political and legal knowledge such as international law, actors in the international system, international politics, etc. with practical elements such as leadership, e-diplomacy or e-governance in order to manage challenges in politics or politically related fields. Based on this, you will formulate sustainable solutions for an urban environment, especially in a European context.
You will learn to politically and administratively control urban living spaces. Above all, this means gaining the ability to act on the basis of cybernetic analysis and control models.
In order to analyze and evaluate questions of public order and to design creative solutions for the metropolitan areas with a large number of political decision-makers and interest groups, you will further develop your problem-solving capacities.
“For me personally, the specialization modules in International Affairs were the highlight, since we had the opportunity to extensively discuss International Relations.”
