Statements

Governor Günther Platter sees the new degree programme as an important strengthening of the existing fields of competence at the location: "Tyrol has efficient institutions and the highest standards in science, research, education and health care. With the new degree programme, these competences will be further expanded and closely interwoven."
Provincial Councillor Bernhard Tilg is particularly pleased about the cross-institutional positioning of the new study programme: "For me as Provincial Councillor for Science and Health, the cooperation at the location is virtually a prime example of how we can jointly create synergies with positive effects on the quality of the services provided, the permeability of the system, the scientific output and patient care."
For the Rector of the Medical University of Innsbruck, Wolfgang Fleischhacker, new potentials are opening up: "Medicine without medical technology is no longer imaginable today. With the new degree programme, we are strengthening the technological competence at the location, increasing the qualified next generation and can realise joint ideas and projects in a short way."
Tilmann Märk, Rector of the Leopold Franzens University of Innsbruck and Chairman of the Tyrolean University Conference underlines the joint character: "I see the new Medical Technologies degree programme as an expression of lived cooperation in the common economic and higher education area for the benefit of all involved."
For Andreas Mehrle, programme director and head of the development team , the new programme closes an important gap at the location: "The new English-language Master's programme complements the existing Bachelor's programme in Mechatronics with the highly demanded branch of study Medical Technologies in an excellent way, offers an outstanding qualification for young people and enables limited professional activity alongside studies. Applications are now open. We are already feeling great demand from all over the world."
MCI Rector Andreas Altmann emphasises the innovative character of medical technology: "With the new degree programme, we are enabling young people to enter an exciting future field with excellent career prospects for students."
