Course structure: frequently asked questions
How the course is built, who made it and whether you need other materials.
How can I learn so many materials at once?
Unlike traditional classroom courses, the BBE Insider course offers flexible, on-demand classes and personalized support. You won’t just receive theoretical knowledge but practical tools and strategies designed to give you the highest probability of success in the BBE exam.
How long does it take to go through the whole course?
The exact duration varies based on your familiarity with the subjects and the time you can dedicate each week. Generally, about four weeks of consistent effort (5–10 hours per week) can suffice. If you start earlier, you’ll have extra time to reinforce your understanding or revisit areas that need more attention, ensuring you comfortably reach the competence level required to excel in the BBE exam.
How many hours per week do I need to prepare?
It depends on your current skill level and learning pace. Some students cover all course materials in four weeks by studying about 5–10 hours per week. However, starting earlier allows you to build confidence and reduce any last-minute pressure. If you finish faster, you can review key topics shortly before the exam, ensuring a calm and solid preparation leading up to test day.
I am a foreign student; do I have a chance at WU Vienna?
Absolutely. Many of our participants join from outside Austria, as the online structure fits any time zone and study schedule. Although local students might have certain advantages from their schooling, our 51% success rate among prepared course participants shows that dedicated study with the right materials is what truly matters. By following the program’s structured path, you position yourself strongly for admission, regardless of where you come from.
I think the course is too generic for my needs.
If you want a more tailored approach, consider our mentoring option, which provides individualized support and guidance for specific areas where you might need extra help.
What qualifies you to provide this program?
Nicolas, who ranks in the top 5% of current BBE students, spearheaded the program development. His strong math background from civil engineering and firsthand exam experience ensure the materials are accurate and practical. Plus, each module is continually reviewed by both AI and students in the community, so you benefit from well-tested explanations that stay current with any changes.

Are you affiliated with WU/is this course from WU?
We operate independently. WU Vienna does not offer an official BBE entrance exam prep course, so our program is created and regularly updated by our own team, without any formal endorsement or partnership from WU.
How did you come up with the materials in your programs?
We compiled every available BBE exam question, categorized them, and developed tasks that match or slightly exceed the exam’s difficulty. These tasks come with step-by-step solutions and supportive theory chapters, helping you grasp the underlying principles. This thorough and systematic process gives you a straight path toward the competency level needed to do well on the entrance exam.
How much structure does the course offer?
The entire syllabus is organized into clear sections—Mathematics, Economics, and English. Each section is accompanied by a straightforward study guide to help you plan your time efficiently. This means you always know what to tackle next and can stay focused on hitting each milestone that leads to a higher chance of passing.
Is it possible to learn the content of your course in 4 weeks, and does it have enough depth?
Yes, many students manage it in four weeks by following the recommended structure. Still, starting earlier allows more time to revisit challenging areas and build solid confidence. The course is designed to be thorough in the areas that truly matter for the BBE exam, helping you reach the necessary skill level without wading through unneeded extras.
Do I need to get additional materials next to your course to pass the exam?
No. The BBE Insider course contains every essential concept and practice task you need. By focusing solely on these resources, you can avoid spending extra money or time on things that won’t directly help you secure a place at WU Vienna.
Is there video or written content in the BBE course?
We use both methods, with a focus on written materials complemented by visuals and interactive elements. This blend helps you absorb the information effectively. If you’d like a preview, you can book a demo call to explore the course setup firsthand.
