MCI launches online master’s degree in Corporate Governance & Finance

The Entrepreneurial School® expands innovative mobile learning program and turns the lounge into a lecture hall

Modern lifestyles require new study concepts and innovative technologies generate new forms of knowledge transfer: Management Center Innsbruck responds to this trend with the newly developed master’s degree in Corporate Governance & Finance.

The study program is based on the blended learning concept, which permits students to acquire interactive course content through self-study and is already well-established at MCI. The MCI eCampus supports the students with up-to-date teaching formats such as webcasts, videos, blogs, moderated chats, livestreams, and digital study materials.

Innovative teaching concept

An intelligent mix of online and on-campus classes as well as electronic media combines location-independent study with face-to-face interaction between students and lecturers. This facilitates the combination of work and family obligations, as well as study and leisure activities. International teaching staff, professional online support, interactive platforms and a comprehensive range of services accompany motivated individuals in the successful completion of their studies.

Master’s degree in Corporate Governance & Finance

The study program recently introduced by the Entrepreneurial School® covers the core areas of corporate governance and business finance based on responsible leadership. The focus of the content is on the management and control of companies and business finance as a strategy of leadership as well as on the importance of regulative conditions. Furthermore, great emphasis is placed on the teaching of socially and societally responsible management behavior.

In order to meet the challenges of a globally networked corporate world all the courses are held in English. Graduates of the study program are provided with the necessary qualifications to adopt leading or specialist positions in industry, in banking and finance, or in consultancies.

The run on the program has already begun. Requirement for admission to the master’s degree course is a bachelor’s degree in business studies. Course applications are accepted at www.mci.edu/bewerbung until Monday, July 10, 2017.
