When I look back at my time at MCI...

I remember the successful combination of flexibility and predefined structure, which enabled me to complete a bachelor's degree within the minimum study duration despite my professional activity, ski racing. I also remember the times on campus in Innsbruck, where I was able to make lots of contacts despite the distance learning program.

How did your studies at MCI prepare you for your current job?

As a ski racer, you are also an entrepreneur. Studying economics taught me the relevant basics for self-employment. There is a close connection between sport and business. The skills I learned have enabled me to take on more of my management activities. For my future career, the degree is the ideal prerequisite for being successful in business or for taking over our family business, the Hotel Montana in Oberlech.

What would you tell someone who is considering studying at MCI?

I can highly recommend this program. The opportunity to study part-time at high-quality level is unique. Quality, respect, and support are the top priorities at MCI. The program offers the necessary support while promoting independence.

What is your motto?

Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
