WUTIS
Academic Trading and Investment Society

"When we co-founded the society, our ambition has always been to create a learning society that connects passionate students at WU and equips them with practical skills to pursue a career in finance. However, I never thought that it will grow to a network that attracts the most intriguing minds in Austria and internationally, where students perform the highest standards of financial analysis and acts as a direct recruiting pool for multinational companies. As such, WUTIS is the place to be to break into the financial service industry and build your long-lasting network."

"I have met some of the most motivated students that you could hope to find in Vienna at WUTIS. While traditionally being a finance society, the skills I have learned during my time managing the internal aspects of the society and ensuring the successful growth path of WUTIS, alongside the events with our corporate partners have helped me secure a consulting internship which I ultimately converted to a full time position at McKinsey."

When founding WUTIS, we wanted to create a small group of students who share the same passion for finance. Some four years later, WUTIS can count on over 140 alumni and a large network of prestigious partner institutions. This rapid growth has been driven by ambitious society members who successfully handed over positions and tasks. I am proud at this development. WUTIS certainly has a bright future ahead."

"WUTIS is a place where likeminded people get the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience in an environment where dedication and hard work truly pays off, resulting in great stock pitches and successful events with our corporate partners, leading to fantastic internship opportunities. During my time at WUTIS I not only experienced a steep learning curve but also made friends for life."

“What I was missing in my studies of Business Administration/Finance was the clear career perspective into the practical world of Finance. WUTIS successfully bridged that gap for me between academia and real-world finance in both hard and soft skills. This was largely due to the extensive network of members and alumni, some of whom have become true, long-standing friends. The inspiring environment at WUTIS was a game-changer for my career and played a significant role in helping me achieve my goals of completing my master's in London and kick-starting my career in investment banking. ”

"WUTIS is a society of finance motivated people, where you can gain practical experience in several divisions. A stellar opportunity to connect and network with national and international financial institutions, providing great opportunities for internships and full time positions. WUTIS helped me a lot in improving my general market knowledge, financial modelling skills, public speaking and prepared me perfectly for my job interviews."

“WUTIS has been instrumental in my career growth. I’ve met people that have taught me more than any course and have become real friends.”

"Joining WUTIS during my bachelor's degree has not only allowed me to meet a number of highly motivated and ambitious people, but also to gain valuable and unique insights into the finance industry."

“When I first joined WUTIS I barely knew anything about investments, but I always had the motivation to pursue a career in finance. During my time at WUTIS I developed technical and personal skills in such a tremendous way, that I was able to break into the industry straight after university and even won the CFA challenge with my team."

"Having joined WUTIS as a Business Law student was an absolute game changer for me. Not only did I discover my true passion for Finance, but I also realised how much this field has to offer. During the 5 semesters I had the great chance to work with gifted people on many different projects, attend workshops with top tier banks and also, make many new friends. I am nothing but thankful for the time spent there, this society helped me to kick start my career and to build a fantastic network. "

"I want to emphasize that WUTIS is not just a place for professional growth, but also great fun. What better way is there to spend an evening than discussing matters you're passionate about with like-minded people over a beer?"

"When I applied for the Chief Investment Office, WUTIS did not ask for more than the motivation to expand and apply my knowledge of global markets. With the help of an incredibly motivated team, I was able to catch up fast, contribute to our market analyses and pitch them to our partners. I improved my presentation and analysis skills a lot and even more gained very good friends over the past 1.5 years."
