When I look back at my time at MCI...

Honestly, I ask myself why I didn’t start there sooner. After my studies in Vienna, which I paused and ultimately discontinued in order to found my company, it was always clear to me – also for the sake of my grandparents – that I wanted to complete my degree. However, finding a university that truly offers a flexible, part-time program alongside a career was not easy.

With MCI, I found exactly this combination. I am very grateful for that, especially for the exceptional support and personal commitment of the entire MCI team.

How did your studies at MCI prepare you for your current job?

What I found particularly interesting was applying theoretical concepts directly within my own company and reflecting on their impact in everyday entrepreneurial practice.

What would you tell someone who is considering studying at MCI?

I would advise anyone considering studying at MCI to take this opportunity. Especially for those who want to combine work and studies, MCI offers a practice-oriented and flexible education. The personal commitment of the lecturers and the excellent support make studying at MCI a very valuable experience.

What is your motto?

“Nothing is impossible” – because challenges are opportunities to find new paths.
