2022 Industriemagazin Ranking of Continuous Education Providers

In the Industry Magazine Seminar Provider Ranking 2022, the WU Executive Academy was once again named Austria's best continuing education provider. In the “Leadership & Strategy” category in particular, it scored top marks for content, didactics and relevance.

Once Again, WU Executive Academy Takes First Place

Industriemagazin surveyed 300 HR and 300 other staff throughout Austria to find that, also this year, the WU Executive Academy’s continuous education offer enjoys the highest reputation in the country. For the second year in a row, WU Vienna’s business school received top grades in the leadership and strategy category of the 2022 continuous education ranking.

In the survey, a total of 28 Austrian continuous education providers were assessed in eight categories by 300 HR managers and the same number of employees from companies with a 50+ head count. They rated the schools’ reputation as well as the quality of teaching contents, lecturers, and of teaching in general on a scale from 1 (“top-notch”) to 5 (“very poor”). 

An Impressive Encore of Last Year’s Results

For the second year in a row, the WU Executive Academy was voted Austria’s leading continuous education provider in the leadership and strategy category of the respective 2022 Industriemagazin ranking.
