What began as nothing more than an idea 30 years ago has grown into an exemplary success story:
A dynamic “entrepreneurial university” with 500 dedicated staff members in research, teaching, management, and administration, as well as 1,000 adjunct faculty members from around the world, combining academic instruction and continuing education, solution-oriented research and development, targeted knowledge transfer, and promising startups into a unique type of university that is the envy of the international community in Tyrol and Austria.
With 3,600 students, 18,000 graduates, 300 partner universities, thousands of satisfied employers, and consistently top results in accreditations, surveys, and rankings, MCI’s immense significance is clear; the university receives more than 5,000 high-quality applications annually for its 1,300 available spots.
Under the motto “Mentoring the motivated,” MCI promotes the region as a hub for science, education, and business and enhances its competitiveness through technology, innovation, and value creation; it opens doors, unlocks opportunities, shapes the future, and provides an academic platform where the world comes together every week.
Against this backdrop, we are extremely pleased with the impressive results of our research, the outstanding progress of our students, and all that our ambitious alumni are accomplishing in business, academia, and society.
All of this is cause for celebration — join us!
