Fall 2014 Globalization Program: orientation and courses

The Fall 2014 semester of the Globalization Program begins on Monday, 8 September 2014.

Over 120 students from Europe, America and Asia will attend courses taught by distinguished professors from VIU's member universities. Students will choose from a range of courses on Italy, Cultures of the World, Global Challenges and Economics, Management and Digital Technologies applied to Cultural Heritage (specialization track of the fall term).

The Program, developed in the truly multicultural, international and interdisciplinary VIU environment, provides a powerful learning experience in which students cultivate their capacity for critical thinking and problem solving. They will be thus better prepared to face the present global challenges.

The program starts on September 8 and ends with the exam week on December 19. Academic calendar
