Business Administration & Business Psychology Starts at MCI

We welcome 34 students to the new bachelor's degree program

With great energy and curiosity, it all began in early September: 34 students have started as the very first cohort of the new part-time Bachelor program in Business Administration & Business Psychology Online at MCI – a milestone for both the students and the MCI team.

The group came together for the kickoff at the welcome weekend on campus in Innsbruck. Between getting to know each other, a scavenger hunt, and the first lectures in “Digital Competence & Self-Management” as well as “Fundamentals of Psychology”, another important topic was not neglected: “First Aid for the Soul.” The aim was to raise awareness of mental health right from the beginning – a heartfelt concern that perfectly aligns with the focus and spirit of the program.

For Head of the program Christiane Aufschnaiter, the start was something very special:

“It was wonderful to see how quickly 34 individuals became a group. Our students will complete the majority of their studies online. This makes it all the more important for them to feel from the outset that they are part of an online learning community.”

Johannes Arendt, Senior Lecturer in Business Psychology, was also impressed by the first weekend:

“Alongside the strong interest in business psychology issues, I found the diversity of professional backgrounds with which our students entered the program to be especially rewarding. These experiences are particularly valuable for addressing business psychology issues and will greatly enrich discussions in class – also for me as a lecturer.”

With this momentum, the students now embark on an exciting first semester. We wish our pioneering class much joy, inspiring insights – and many unforgettable MCI moments!
