We are proud to announce that USI can now offer a new destination in France. In the month of February USI signed a student exchange agreement with Burgundy School of Economics in Dijon. Up to 4 USI students at Bachelor or Master level enrolled at the Faculty of Economics have the chance to study in English or French. From our side, we are eager to welcome in Lugano the students from this new partner university.
