CaseLab Vienna is an open student club for everyone aiming for a career in management, strategy and IT consulting. We bring consulting firms to campus for case workshops and talks, and help our members prepare for their applications.
Where future consultants learn to think like consultants.
Case interviews are the key step in every consulting application. Yet many students have no structured way to prepare for them, especially early in their studies.
CaseLab Vienna closes this gap. We organise case workshops and talks led by professionals from the consulting industry, open to all students, complemented by regular case sessions where members practise together.
Our Mission
To give every motivated student in Vienna the skills, practice and network to start a career in consulting.
What We Stand For
Three principles guide everything we do.
Open Access
Membership is open to every student with a genuine interest in consulting, regardless of semester or prior experience.
Practical Training
Case workshops led by consultants and regular case sessions in small groups, from fundamentals to interview simulations.
Industry Exposure
Workshops, talks and mock interviews with professionals from strategy, management and IT consulting firms.
