As part of this step, we also need information about your educational background.

After entering your details, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. If you do not receive this confirmation e-mail, check the spam folder in your e-mail account or contact aufnahmeverfahren(at)jku.at. Your registration confirmation for the admissions procedure will be attached in the e-mail. Please keep your confirmation in a safe place as you will need it to complete the subsequent steps in the admissions procedure and for admission to the program.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact aufnahmeverfahren(at)jku.at.

Please note:

• In order to be admitted to the Bachelor's degree program, you must fulfill all of the university's formal admission requirements.
• When selecting your degree program, you will be asked to fill out a statistical survey in accordance with § 9 (6) of the Education Documentation Act.
• The admissions procedure takes place only once a year. You may not apply or enroll outside of the application and enrollment periods!
• The e-mail address you provide must be active and valid. All additional e-mails regarding the admissions procedure will be sent to the e-mail address you provide.

If the number of applicants who register for the program is less than the number of available spots in the program (80), the admissions procedure will not move forward. In this case, all of the applicants can enroll in the program (during the enrollment period) for the desired semester (i.e., for the following Winter Semester or Summer Semester). If there are over 80 applicants to the program, the admissions procedure will move forward. You will receive an e-mail notifying you about whether or not the procedure will take place and subsequently an e-mail containing a link to upload the required application video (see Step 2).

You will receive an e-mail containing notification as to whether or not an admissions procedure will take place. If students are to be selected before being admitted to the program, the e-mail you receive will contain a link to the Moodle course where you will upload your application video. The e-mail address used will be the address you provided during the online registration procedure.

The video must be in English and should answer the following questions:

• Who are you? What is your background story?
• Why do you want to study International Business Administration? What motivates you to pursue the IBA Bachelor’s degree program?
• Why do you want to come to the JKU Business School?
• What makes you the right person for the program?
• What are your career goals for the next 5-10 years? What do you want to accomplish during the course of your career?
• Be bold! Show us your creative side and have fun making a dynamic video!

Your video must be 1.5 to 2 minutes long and no larger than 250 MB. Acceptable formats include: .avi, .mov, mp4, .m4v, 3gp, .asf, .wmv, .mpg, .mpeg, .mpe. You can also use your smart phone to make your video.

As we are required to verify your identity, please upload a copy of your passport via the same Moodle course. The deadline to upload your application video and a copy of your passport ends at midnight on May 22, 2025.

Please show yourself in the video so we can verify that you are actually speaking in the video.

Our program management team will review your video to determine if it meets the content and language requirements. Once your application video has been reviewed, you will be notified as to whether or not you may continue taking part in the admissions process. The e-mail notification will be sent by no later than June 16, 2025.

Do you have any questions about making and submitting your video? Contact us by sending an email to: ba-iba(at)jku.at!
