MCI Community Service
Projects for the common good
At MCI, we support and encourage our students' sense of social responsibility and voluntary commitment. As a long-standing signatory of UN PRME and co-founder of the PRME Chapter DACH, it is particularly important to us to prepare students for their professional lives as responsible managers and specialists with a pronounced understanding of values and a solid ethical basis.
In addition to other initiatives, we offer a range of opportunities to get involved with the community, which students can take advantage of both as part of their regular studies and through extracurricular activities.
What opportunities do students have?
The MCI offers a range of opportunities to get involved in community activities and projects. These include:
- Practical projects as part of regular studies
Working on topics and questions for the direct benefit of non-profit or other organizations working for the common good in the context of courses with practical projects.
- Researching a relevant topic within the framework of the Bachelor's or Master's thesis
Working on topics and questions for the direct benefit of non-profit organisations or other organisations working for the common good within the framework of the Bachelor's or Master's thesis.
- Internship with a non-profit organization or other charitable organization.
Students can complete their internship with a non-profit organization or other charitable organization.
- Volunteering (Badge Volunteering)
Volunteering in associations or networks that serve the common good promotes the acquisition of many important skills and can be a decisive advantage when you apply for a job. MCI students who engage in volunteer work (unpaid activity in which they help a charity or non-profit organization) amounting to at least 60 hours can receive the MCI Engagement Badge „Volunteer“
