Video surveillance throughout the exam is provided by trained MCI staff using Skype video conferencing software.

You will be asked to submit your username to your chosen program before the test / interview and then confirm the MCI contact request. If you do not receive an MCI contact request (at least 2 days before the Skype date), please contact the program you have chosen.

Once you have logged in to Skype on the agreed date, the supervisor will call you. Please accept the call as a video call.

Your supervisor will give you all the necessary information and instructions in Skype's chat area at the start of the procedure and will then monitor you throughout the test to ensure the integrity of the test. The steps you will go through are as follows

• welcoming address
• Identification by means of an official photo ID which you hold in the camera
• room control
• Placing the Camera
• test start

Please note:

It is important that you have not opened any programs at the beginning of the test that could affect your Internet connection. Please make sure that ONLY the programs necessary for the test (Skype and Vienna Test System) are open.

The personal interview also takes place via Skype.

You will receive the instructions regarding the interview in advance.

If you have applied for more than one course, there will be several Skype interviews. In this case, you will receive a separate contact request for each course you have applied for.

The application commission will contact you via Skype on the agreed date, the interview will take about 20 minutes. The interview focuses on the personal presentation, the discussion of the information given in the application documents and the intended study and career goals. At the end of the interview the further course will be announced.

DATA PROTECTION

By taking the written entrance examination, the applicant expressly consents to the storage and processing of his/her data and examination performance, namely

Last name, first name, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address, uploaded documents and any data collected during the admission procedure.

If the application does not lead to an admission, the data will be stored for a period of two years from the end of the application procedure. If the applicant is admitted to a course of study at MCI, the applicable legal regulations apply.

MONITORING THE ADMISSION TEST

The applicant acknowledges that admission examinations held at a location are monitored by the MCI using a webcam.

The applicant is aware that the MCI may prematurely terminate the entrance examination in the event of mere suspicion of (attempted) performance deception (e.g. through the use of unauthorized aids). The video and audio recordings transmitted to the MCI for monitoring purposes are not stored by the MCI.

The applicant is also aware that the MCI may terminate the entrance examination prematurely even if the Internet connection between the dislocated test participant and the MCI is too poor or becomes too poor during the test to adequately monitor the applicant's actions on the video streams.

WARRANTY & LIABILITY

The applicant is aware that MCI cannot assume any responsibility for the functioning of the infrastructure (hardware, Internet connection, etc.) to be provided by him/her and that any problems that may arise (failure of the Internet connection, PC, webcam, etc.) will therefore be borne by the applicant.

The applicant is aware that in the event of premature termination of the entrance examination by MCI due to (possible) (attempted) simulations of performance or inadequate monitoring facilities due to a defective Internet connection, there is no entitlement to continuation or repetition of the entrance examination.
