Business Psychology & Management | Master

The first semester starts at the beginning of September with an on-campus weekend at MCI in Innsbruck. During these welcome days, you will not only get to know the lecturers and MCI, but above all your new fellow students. You will also receive training in our learning management system and online live session software, so that you are perfectly prepared for your online studies.

It is not possible to start the master’s in Business Psychology & Management in the spring semester.

In each application round, places are allocated on a rolling basis. Therefore, we recommend that you apply early. Applicants who achieve an above-average performance in the application procedure are admitted immediately. All other applicants will be put on a waiting list until the end of the application period. Should one of the applicants admitted not accept the study place offered to him or her, the applicant highest on the waiting list will be offered their place, and so on. This opportunity will remain until the beginning of the respective semester.

Yes, you can apply for more than one degree program as long as you explain your reasons for your multiple applications in your letter of motivation. If you are accepted to several MCI programs, you must make your final choice after the admission procedures have been completed.

As the master’s in Business Psychology & Management” is a part-time study, we also encourage you to study this program next to your full-time or other part-time study.

Yes, you can apply before receiving your bachelor’s certificate. In this case, enclose your most recent transcript of records with your application documents. If admitted to the program, you can submit the bachelor’s certificate before the start of studies.

Each application procedure consists of several rounds. You may apply during one round only and once altogether in an application year. Should your application be rejected, you may apply again in the following year.

The admission procedure consists of an interview and your application documents including a compelling letter of motivation. The evaluation of the respective admission round (interview and application documents) takes about two weeks. After this period, we inform you of our decision by e-mail. If you are accepted, you will receive the study contract and further information in the following days. To secure your place, please return the signed study contract within 14 days and pay the tuition fees.

A full or partial recognition of qualifications and professional experience - where relevance to the degree has been established - can be granted upon admission to the respective program. Qualifications gained as part of a degree program at a national or international university, university of applied sciences, or other institution of higher education or as part of other courses of study may be counted towards your studies, only where relevant proof is provided. The recognition of qualifications merely exempts the student from his or her responsibility to attend a respective course.

Of course, it is our goal that as many of our students as possible complete their master's degree after four semesters and we are also very proud that our drop-out rate is no higher than in attendance courses. However, we also know that there are good reasons why it might be difficult to successfully continue your studies - for example, if your life circumstances change and a new job requires more time. Therefore, it is possible to interrupt your studies once and continue them at a later date.
