Statements:
Oswald Wolkenstein, Chairman of the MCI Supervisory Board: "With these latest top results, the MCI impressively confirms its enormous quality, competence, and performance as well as its incredible potential for the future. This must be seized for the location and MCI must be offered the urgently needed infrastructural framework conditions."
Brigitte Auer, Head of MCI Quality Management: “We consider the continuous development of our programs, processes, and competencies to be extremely important. Feedback from rankings and student surveys significantly supports us in this endeavor. We are very pleased that our quality efforts have also had such a positive impact in this year's CHE ranking.”
Andreas Altmann, MCI Rector: “The excellent results in the current CHE ranking confirm and strengthen MCI's academic position as a beacon in the European higher education landscape. The only deficits seen are in the infrastructure, which no longer meets expectations. Furthermore, we urgently need the right to award doctorates to support local companies with research-based solutions for innovative technologies, processes, products, and business models.”
Jakob Grüner, Chairman of the MCI General Assembly: "The fact that the MCI has once again achieved top ratings in an internationally respected ranking is very impressive and proves the high quality and recognition of the Entrepreneurial School®. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement."
