Bachelor's program "Smart Building Technologies" at MCI starting in fall 2021 | Unique way of combining university and career | Ideal career start for school graduates with excellent job prospects
MCI has responded to the lack of dual study programs internationally and especially in Tyrol by introducing the new dual study course ‘Smart Building Technologies’. This study program differs from extra-occupational courses of study by addressing school leavers directly after their graduation of secondary school and providing an integrative link between studies and profession. Several months of study at the university are followed by several months of experience in the field within innovative partner companies.
With the introduction of the dual Bachelor's program "Smart Building Technologies", MCI | The Entrepreneurial School® once again positions itself among the most innovative universities and colleges in the German-speaking area.
"The dual study program 'Smart Building Technologies' meets the latest needs in educational training", MCI Rector Andreas Altmann is convinced: "Companies all over the world have an urgent need for the qualifications imparted in the study program - now young people from all over the world and the economy in Tyrol and South Tyrol are benefiting from these skills".
Exciting future field
Head of department and studies Werner Stadlmayr emphasizes the importance of the new study program: "Smart Building Technologies is an outstanding addition to the study program at MCI. Students benefit from excellent career prospects and from the unique close links with corporate partners".
