The Fall 2017 semester of the Globalization Program begins on Monday, 4 September and will end on December 15, 2017 with the exam week.
Over 100 students from Europe, America and Asia will choose among 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), 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.
