When I look back at my time at MCI...
it was a very exciting and instructive time for me, especially the entrepreneurial focus at MCI was a new perspective for me as a nurse working in the public sector. I also found the heterogeneity of the group of my fellow students and the fact that the content of the lectures and seminars was far removed from clinical and nursing topics very refreshing. I got to know a lot of interesting and valuable people at MCI, both fellow students and professors. Today, I am very glad that I enrolled in and completed this degree program at MCI.

How did your studies at MCI prepare you for your current job?
As a nurse in a senior management position in a medical center such as the University Hospital Innsbruck, you are constantly confronted with economic issues these days. The challenges in the HR area are also very diverse and take up a lot of space in daily activities. The Bachelor's degree program “Business Administration Online” at MCI prepared me very well for these topics in particular, as they require very close cooperation with the department and HR administration. In this context, I can apply the knowledge I acquired at MCI very well and back up my points of view with well-founded arguments in discussions, which is an indispensable aid in my role.

What would you tell someone who is considering studying at MCI?
I can highly recommend the MCI to any potential student. The Bachelor's degree course in Business Administration Online, which I completed while working, is an ideal format for working students in particular, as the majority of lectures take place online in the evenings and the attendance phases are therefore reduced to a manageable amount at the weekend. For me, this setting allowed me to combine my studies very well with my role as a ward manager at the time. Of course, studying alongside your job is also a big challenge, but with a healthy dose of ambition, efficient time management and a little hard work, it can be mastered quite well. I would definitely choose the MCI again!

What is your motto?
The journey is the reward.
