Local support:
In Vienna, we have a team of advisors available to discuss your study plans with you either at an information event or on a one-to-one basis, by email or face-to-face. Our taster workshops give you the opportunity to experience the calibre of our tutors, the quality of our teaching materials and how our system of blended learning works. We can organise for you to speak with one of our current students so they can tell you what it is really like to study with The Open University Business School.
