ItalianoMCI Management Center Innsbruck has exciting new additions to its extensive worldwide university network. As of now, MCI students can complete studies / semesters / years abroad at four more partner universities in Canada, Sweden, Japan and England.
Brock University in Canada is a state university founded in 1964. This makes it a relatively young university in an international context, and one that is growing rapidly. MCI students will study at the Goodman School of Business. Like the MCI, the business school has been awarded the worldwide seal of approval as a top business school by the renowned accreditation agency AACSB. The Goodman School of Business is located in St. Catharines in the province of Ontario. With a population of approximately 130,000, St. Catharines is the largest city in the administrative district of Niagara. This already points to the most famous sight in the area, Niagara Falls. These are probably the most famous waterfalls in the world; the Niagara region has 18 million visitors every year.
In future, MCI students will also be able to study their semester abroad at Malmö University in Sweden. Sweden is famous for its welfare state and progressive society, which is why a semester abroad there is particularly exciting for social work students. Malmö also offers an exciting environment; for example, the city is connected to Denmark via a spectacular sea bridge.
More exotic are semesters abroad at Tohoku University Sendai/Japan, one of the most prestigious state universities in Nippon. After the double catastrophe of 2011 - tsunami and reactor accident - the empire has recovered and is strongly in the international spotlight with, for example, the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo in the next few years. Tohoku University is particularly exciting for students studying Business & Management and International Business & Law. MCI students will already be taking advantage of this opportunity from October 2019.
In the area of academic further education / executive education, a downright sensational opportunity is emerging for MCI students. An attractive framework agreement has been signed with Durham University, one of the most renowned universities in England, which covers areas such as joint research and the exchange and deployment of professors. Among other things, it is planned that students of the MCI's MBA programmes will have the opportunity to complete modules in Durham in the future. Durham University is counted among the English "Ivy League" and is regarded as a "leading alternative to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge" (The Times Good University Guide).
Susanne Lichtmannegger, Head of Internationalisation at MCI, is delighted with the new additions: "We offer our students an outstanding portfolio of almost 300 partner universities all over the world. We are successively expanding this further. In 2019 alone, we were able to attract ten more - generally very renowned - universities in attractive locations to the MCI."
