INNSBRUCK, Austria, May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Cooperation between the MCI, the University of Antwerp and the Antwerp

Management School | Despite COVID unrestricted progress of program guaranteed |

Applications are open, start of studies November 2020

The four-year Executive PhD Program with participants from all over the world

is tailored to experienced, international executives and managers who wish to

apply the latest research findings and academic expertise to complex economic

issues, often associated with their professional activities. The

internationally recognized doctoral program is jointly run by the University of

Antwerp, Antwerp Management School and MCI. In Austria, the program is

certified by AQ Austria.

The next cohort of students is scheduled to start in November 2020 and the

COVID-19 pandemic will not compromise the quality of the program. Markus

Kittler, Academic Program Director at MCI, explains: "When we noticed early

that international travel restrictions would remain in place for considerable

time, we converted the on campus modules into hybrid and online modules. This

ensures that the participants can complete the PhD program as planned without

any ramifications for the duration or quality of the program."

The modules this autumn will therefore take place online. The MCI can draw on

several years of expertise in the field of online learning. "We already started

to convert our MBA programs to blended learning with mobile and online formats

several years ago. This expertise now helps us to further develop the Executive

PhD program in a highly professional manner with regard to the new requirements

and to provide students with optimal support," adds Susanne E. Herzog, Head of

the Executive Education Department at MCI. The on-campus formats will return

once the health risks are manageable and travel restrictions are lifted.
