Testimonials by MMI students and alumni:

 

Arunkiry Natarajan (a dentist from India):

ECRI, remarkably informative, and Pfarrkirchen, innocent, naïve and green, together form a perfect blend, food for the mind and music for the soul. Startlingly beautiful, Pfarrkirchen and Pfarrkircheners will let you feel homely with an amalgamation of tradition, culture and character. ECRI curates the spirited learner through fun-filled, non-traditional and creative approaches, and there has been no better place and time to start planning for a better abode of edification.

 

Akshatha Alva (IT specialist from India):

It has been a wonderful experience being part of the MMI; I would recommend it for sure. It has been a completely interdisciplinary study course, with a combination of theoretical and practical approaches. With co-student and teachers being from an interdisciplinary and multicultural background, they brought their own sets of experience, which added many benefits to the studies. It was for me a family indeed, with wonderful professors and colleagues from different parts of the world.

 

Esther Inau (a physician from Kenya):

I have had a great experience here. As an international student, I am happy to be here. Adjusting to life in a new country has its challenges, but the MMI family is really supportive. Also, the course content is really good. The course units are supplemented with case studies for a more practical approach, which is awesome. You also get to meet people from all over the world. Great exposure. I am happy I chose to be here. I highly recommend this program to anyone considering it.

 

Sima Behbahani (a psychologist from Iran):

To come here, you need dreams to follow, you need goals to fight for, and you have to be passionate to make a bridge between your current reality and your ideal one. So, if you are ready to be dynamic, apply immediately and come here to find all the support you need. All ECRI members will help you make the change happen.
