“The range of courses offered immediately appealed to me”

“I first developed an interest in business topics while I was still at school at HAK International in Klagenfurt, which is where I completed my secondary education,” Miriam Wiltsche recounts. After graduating from high school, she opted to further expand her knowledge in the field of economics with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Innsbruck and subsequently pursued her Master’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Klagenfurt. “From the very beginning, it was clear to me that a Bachelor’s degree would mainly teach me the basics, while a Master’s degree would allow for deeper specialisation,” she explains.
