International Week 2013

, by Jenna Walker
Bocconi students get ready for this year's edition of the event from 11 to 15 February. Attendees can learn more about the thousands of international work and study opportunities in around 100 countries worldwide and hear from students who have already participated in international programs

Università Bocconi believes in providing students with opportunities to go abroad, allowing them to meet new people, learn to appreciate different cultures and develop a new way of seeing the world. Programs are designed to do all this, in addition to improving international economics and management skills and developing a global mindset.

Each year, the University's International Relations Office hosts International Week. The event is open to all Bocconi students and it showcases the many opportunities available abroad. Throughout the week, Undergraduate, Graduate and Law students can attend presentations focused on international Bocconi programs, as well as special sessions on program details, emerging geographical areas, international mobility, and presentations by the Career Service.

The Fall session of IW was held last November, which was a smaller version than the February event.

Students that missed the November event and anyone who would like more detailed info on all of Bocconi's international opportunities should attend this year's edition of International Week, starting on 11 February 2013. It will be a week of presentations and seminars that give students insight on all international opportunities.
