Useful Information

MEDICS

Information regarding a company called Future Doctors and their aim is to give students all the information they need before deciding on Medicine as a career. They provide free seminars which schools are able to book via email, help with careers days and host weekend programmess which will help students to make an informed career choice. Unfortunately most students are still unaware as to how recent reforms in the training schemes in the NHS will affect their lives.
We have an extensive online reference section which is up and running that would also benefit schools and students alike. www.futuredoctors.co.uk

John Cabot University is pleased to announce the new Bachelor of Arts in International Business. This major was developed in response to the increased interest in International Business among undergraduate students, and in particular among John Cabot’s growing Italian and international student body.
This major builds upon JCU’s liberal arts tradition of providing a strong academic foundation that is enhanced by studying within a dynamic and challenging multicultural environment with students from over forty countries.
The Bachelor of Arts in International Business is based on the core structure for all business administration majors but is distinguished by a further emphasis on international business, giving students the chance to explore specific issues of doing business in a globalized world, including those of a political and economic order, as well as those related specific situations in marketing and management.
We are currently accepting students for our January 2011 entering class working towards accepting students for our September 2011 entering class as we have an rolling admissions policy.
We would also like to inform you that we will be hosting a virtual tour of John Cabot University on November 3 and 4. If you would like your students to learn more about John Cabot in Rome, please ask them to register for free with http://www.collegeweeklive.com/en_CA/guest/app-registration.
