Five study programs
MCI offer secures the campus in Lienz
Five new degree courses are to attract interested students from East Tyrol and the surrounding area to the location. Around 2.5 million euros will be invested in the project, which will begin in the 2025/26 academic year. However, some questions remain unanswered.
Campus Lienz, a Umit Tirol educational location that has been repeatedly criticized in recent months and years, is breaking new ground. From the 2025/26 academic year, five MCI Bachelor's degree programs are to be offered there.
Introduction in Lienz to be followed by specialization in Innsbruck
The plan is for students to complete two foundation semesters at the Lienz campus. They will then move to Innsbruck for two semesters of in-depth study. From the fifth semester onwards, students can complete their studies (including the Bachelor's thesis) in their home country.
The state is investing around 2.5 million euros until 2029. Those responsible are still keeping a low profile when it comes to the management and teaching staff at the location. The number of students is also not set in stone - however, around 15 are planned.
Local residents should be able to study locally
The offer is primarily aimed at interested parties from the region. The local economy is hoping for "an exchange and strengthening in the region", as Michaela Hysek-Unterweger from the Lienz Chamber of Commerce explains. With a mix of classroom and online teaching, the aim is to give all those who have a "strong connection to their home region" the opportunity, explains Martin Pillei, Head of the Industrial Engineering and Management course at MCI.
The course is also intended to attract graduates from the HTL technical college located in the same building.
