"EDUNIVERSAL" measures the quality of the programs based on three main criteria

The positive results of "EDUNIVERSAL" confirm the continual development of the MCI and the exemplary quality of tourism studies at the MCI, which for 19 years, and counting for more than 1,400 graduates, attributes to its position as one of the most prestigious tourism programs worldwide.

Hubert Siller, head of the MCI Tourism Department, sees the excellent ranking result as recognition of the continual quality development: "Our Master's program in 'Entrepreneurship & Tourism' is constantly on the rise. This is reflected not only in increasing numbers in international applications, but above all in the recognition by employers and the labor market respectively. We are honored that we can accompany our students throughout their studies and support them as they make their move into a successful professional life."

MCI-Rector Andreas Altmann adds, "Quality, internationality, brand and network are the building blocks of a university’s success. I am delighted that our Master’s program "Entrepreneurship & Tourism" in EDUNIVERSAL has achieved a "Global Top 50 Ranking" and I congratulate the team around Hubert Siller for this tremendous result, which should serve as an endorsement and incentive for our further work."
