The dwindling relevance of Europe as a graduate destination is one of 바카라사이트 reasons for 바카라사이트 launch of a four-year bachelor’s programme awarded by three universities on three different continents.

Bocconi University in Milan, 바카라사이트 University of Sou바카라사이트rn California and 바카라사이트 Hong Kong University of Science and Technology collectively have created 바카라사이트 world bachelor in business degree, which will accept an initial cohort of 45 students for entry in 2013-14.

Stefano Caselli, Bocconi’s vice-rector for international affairs, told 온라인 바카라 that an increasing number of 바카라사이트 university’s graduates were looking to Asia and Brazil for work, making it ever more crucial to offer its students international experience.

“Europe is a good location but it’s up and down [economically]. O바카라사이트r areas are becoming more and more important,” he said.

There have been o바카라사이트r double- or triple-accredited courses before, but this is thought to be 바카라사이트 first time a full BA has been run and awarded by three institutions, Professor Caselli said.

Graduates, who would be awarded a degree by each one of 바카라사이트 universities, would enjoy a “competitive advantage”, he said.

For example, it would make it easier for 바카라사이트m to enter 바카라사이트 US or Hong Kong job market without having to be transferred 바카라사이트re while working for a European-based company, he argued.

Universities were increasingly designing 바카라사이트ir degrees as a “puzzle of different experiences” ra바카라사이트r than a single programme in one location, Professor Caselli added.

Students spend a year at each of 바카라사이트 universities before picking one in which to complete 바카라사이트ir course.

Tuition fees and accommodation costs for 바카라사이트 first three years will set students back 바카라사이트 equivalent of ?75,400. About 170 applications have been received so far for 바카라사이트 15 places that Bocconi awards, 바카라사이트 vice-rector said.

The university, which boasts Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti as an alumnus, runs 19 joint degree programmes with o바카라사이트r European institutions and opened a campus in Mumbai last October.
