How important is a degree for a career?

What do you want to be “when you grow up”? A doctor, a lawyer...a priest?? Do you need a degree in order to fulfil your dreams?

There are some careers for which formal training and a degree is an absolute must. Would you be willing to see a doctor who hadn’t learnt the mechanics of the human body? How about employing an architect to build your house who had never seen a floor plan before? Hmm...I didn’t think so. So if you want to become a doctor, an architect, an accountant, an engineer, a dentist or any of those jobs for which highly-specialised skills are needed then the answer to the question above is straightforward.

Spreading the word about GlobalCampus!
 
It’s been another busy few months not only here at GlobalCampus HQ but around the world! Maurizio de Franciscis, CEO of GlobalCampus, has attended and presented at events in Ghana, Bangladesh and Finland (see press section). Glyn James, International Officer at University of Wales, Newport, will be making a trip to meet Abena in Accra, Ghana, as part of his tour to Africa! This is an exclusive event for GlobalCampus users and we are proud to be organising it. If you would like GlobalCampus to visit your school or university, please get in touch. Alternatively, if you are interested in accompanying Maurizio on one of his country rollouts, please get in touch via the feedback form!

GlobalCampus in Africa

Here at GlobalCampus it is our mission to bring educational opportunities to the world: we think global and we act global. At the end of last year we laid the foundations of our growing presence in Africa with a visit to Rwanda which unveiled to us a truly underserved market rich in talent and ambition. Maurizio de Franciscis, our CEO, has recently returned from a second hugely successful promotional campaign to Ghana. Guided by our partners at AIESEC, Maurizio was invited to promote GlobalCampus and has subsequently been featured across the national press and media.

GlobalCampus at EAIE Conference 2009 in Madrid

GlobalCampus was pleased to attend the EAIE 2009 conference in Madrid in September. The theme of the conference was "connecting continents" and the inspirational speech by the influential Robert Swann gave us much food for thought.

As you can see many people gathered to discuss international education at the conference and GlobalCampus met many interesting people.
