Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Italian university switches to English.
This article was posted on our blog on June
2nd but again presented to draw the readers’ attention to competition in
academic world especially time when Japanese politicians are struggling only
among themselves, not paying any attention to the nation’s future, education.
It
is an eye-opening one for most of the faculty members of universities and
colleges in non-English speaking or teaching countries, especially Japan. Two
basic necessities are mentioned, competitiveness of the university, and employability
and career expandability of their students. They want to invite good teachers
and students and teach their students to be more practical in today’s
globalized world. This move is significant because this university is one of
the oldest universities in Milan and a flagship institution for science,
engineering and architecture, which produces one in three of all Italy's architects.
Enjoy reading and learning about how
globalization is affecting higher education.
