Spring 2015 Globalization Program: orientation and courses

The Spring  2015 semester of the Globalization Program begins on Monday, 16 February 2015.

Over 140 students from Europe, America, Asia and Africa will choose among a range of courses on Italy, Cultures of the World, Global Challenges and Environmental Management and Sustainable Development (specialization track of the spring term), taught by distinguished professors from VIU's member universities.

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 February 16 and ends with the exam week on May 29. Academic calendar
