!!!Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien\\
 
Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, successor 
to the short-lived Handels-Hochschule ("Trade University", 
1873-1877) and the Export-Akademie des k. k. oesterreichischen 
Handels-Museums ("Export Academy of the Imperial Austrian Trade 
Museum", founded in 1898); the latter was given a new home in 
Vienna´s 19%%sup th/%  district in 1917 and was made into the 
state-funded Hochschule fuer Welthandel ("University of World 
Trade") in 1919. From 1930, it was entitled to award academic 
degrees such as Diplomkaufmann ("university trained 
merchant") to students having completed their 3%%sup rd/%  year 
and Doktor der Handelswissenschaft ("Doctor of Commercial 
Science") to those having completed a 4-year course of study. In 
1966, these titles were replaced by Magister/Doktor der Sozial- und 
Wirtschaftswissenschaft ("Master/Doctor of Social and Economic 
Studies") but finally phased out in 1975 and 1980, respectively. 
In 1975, the name was changed to Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien (Vienna 
University of Economics and Business Administration) and the 
university was organised in sections such as Business Administration, 
Economics, Legal Sciences, the Humanities and Natural Sciences. In 
1983 the Humanities and Natural Sciences section also incorporated the 
Social Sciences. Since 1982, the Vienna University of Economics and 
Business Administration has had its own university complex at 
Althanstrasse street in Vienna´s 9%%sup th/%  district.

\\
The University Organisation Act (UOG) of 1993 also applies to the 
University of Economics and Business Administration and gives it a 
certain degree of autonomy, especially in personnel matters, the 
appointment of professors etc. and made it possible for the University 
to establish its own research centre and adopt study regulations.
