Course Overview

WU Vienna University of Economics and Business is one of Europe's largest and most respected business schools and holds the triple crown of accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA). The English-taught MSc in Supply Chain Management is a two-year master's that combines analytics, operations, logistics, procurement, and digital supply-chain technologies with a strong management and strategy backbone.

The programme is quantitative and applied: students work with optimisation and simulation tools, data analytics, and live company cases, and benefit from WU's links to the logistics, manufacturing, and consulting firms based in Vienna — a central-European hub at the crossroads of EU and CEE trade. WU's award-winning modern campus and large international cohort make it a genuinely global learning environment.

For Sri Lankan graduates, Austria is an outstanding value destination: as a public university, WU charges roughly €1,453 a year in tuition for non-EU students — a fraction of UK, US, or Australian fees — for a triple-accredited qualification. Austria offers a post-study residence permit to seek skilled work, and a degree from WU is recognised across the EU, opening supply-chain and operations careers in one of the world's most logistics-intensive regions.
