MCI develops joint degrees with Ulysseus

Good news at MCI: The EU is funding two Erasmus+ Entrepreneurial ^University® projects submitted jointly with the European University of Ulysseus. The successful project applications will receive a grant of 55,000 euros each and aim to develop Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programs with the partner universities of Ulysseus. These are high-level and integrated study programmes at Master's level, designed and implemented in the framework of international partnerships.

MCI is taking the lead in two projects, "SMILE" and "EMFORTM", which focus on the development of pioneering Master's programmes. While "SMILE" revolves around sustainable management in the field of life sciences, the "EMFORTM" project is creating an innovative master's programme for responsible tourism management. The projects are scheduled to start in the next few weeks.

Siegfried Walch, Head of Ulysseus at MCI, explains: "With the establishment of Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programs, we are deepening synergies with outstanding partner universities, expanding our worldwide networks and increasing the employability of our graduates on a global level. We see it as essential to offer students an international education with simplified mobility between universities in order to further promote the internationalisation of the location
