MODUL University Vienna is a great place to study – and now 13 more college counselors know why. For the second annual counselor fly-in, MU invited the diverse group from international high schools in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Serbia, Belgium, Turkey, China, and Hungary.

From May 2nd-3rd and 9th-10th, the selected representatives got to experience MU and Vienna firsthand, in order to better inform their students about their post-secondary education opportunities.

Giving students the chance to develop as good citizens is a key part of their educational experience. That's what led MU to recognize one of their own recently - BBA student Simon Hala received the "Student Volunteer Award" for his contributions to student and community life during the Fall 2011-2012 semester.

MU added another success story to its growing list of achievements. On Monday, April 23rd, MODUL University Vienna received the Sustainability Award 2012 in the category of Structural Foundation for the programs ‘’MU Cares’’, ’’Scholarship of Hope’’, and ‘’Employee Sustainability Award’’.

As part of MU’s ongoing Latest Trends series, Dr. Janne J. Liburd, Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Tourism, Innovation and Culture at the University of Southern Denmark, was invited to lecture on Kahlenberg.

Some students just can’t get enough of MODUL University Vienna – including two of our alumni who are now full time employees. BBA ’10 Leopold Spiegelfeld, Recruitment & Marketing Coordinator has been criss-crossing Europe to promote MU.

His most recent activity took him to his homeland of South Tyrol, where students from the Landeshotelfachschule Kaiserhof, one of the oldest and most respected Tourism schools in Italy, learned about options for the next step in their education.

A warm meal can go a long way to making someone's day just a little easier - that's the principle that led a team of student volunteers (part of the MU Cares [13] charity program) to the Gruft's soup kitchen for the homeless. Enthused by a previous charity cookoff [14] to help refugee asylum seekers, students arranged to take over the soup kitchen in the basement of the Barnabitenkirche on Mariahilferstrasse for an afternoon. 

MU will be attending the BEST EN Think Tank XII – Mobilities and Sustainable Tourism, held in Greoux les Bains, Provence, June 24-27 2012. SKEMA Business School and La Cité de la Culture et du Tourisme Durable will be hosting the 12th annual event in the south of France.

MODUL University Vienna recently recognized the outstanding academic achievements three of our students in awarding Robert Wilfing, Sebastian Ferrari, and Vera Wanivenhaus a place on the BBA Dean’s List.

The Dean’s List is MODUL University’s recognition of outstanding academic achievement, and BBA students who earn 24 or more ECTS during a semester with a GPA of 90% or above are eligible. Students receive a certificate for each semester he or she makes the list, and are invited to attend an annual breakfast at the Five Star Grand Hotel Vienna in the city center.
