MCI study program in high demand
Almost 4,000 applications from 85 (!) nations confirm the enormous demand for one of the coveted 1,300 study places that MCI has allocated to first-semester students for the start of their studies in fall 2023. As a result, 3,600 MCI students are now starting their studies, while nearly 1,200 graduates will finish them this fall. The total number of MCI alumni thus amounts to an impressive 16,000 graduates.
Global network
With around 1,000 exchange students for a semester/year of study, the MCI is expanding its international activities even further. In addition, the comprehensive network of more than 300 university cooperations has been strengthened by adding ten renowned partner universities (including U.C. Berkeley / USA, Tel Aviv University / Israel, Dalian University of Technology / China, Andrassy University / Hungary, etc.).
New opportunities in continuing education
MCI Executive Education's high-quality continuing education program is also being expanded, for example with the new certificate courses "Green Transition & ESG Management" and "Business AI". These courses actively address the growing challenges in the areas of climate protection and sustainability as well as the active use of artificial intelligence, preparing managers, employees and companies for these topics.
Successful expansion of the European University ULYSSEUS
The MCI has received approval for five forward-looking Erasmus+ project proposals in the field of academic education, which were submitted in close cooperation with the joint European University Alliance ULYSSEUS. The projects focus on current developments, such as the European Joint Master Programs and the promotion of international mobility.
