Swans International School Marbella

Seeking to foster a spirit of enthusiasm for learning and thereby encouraging students to become effective, life-long learners, we established our collaboration with Swans International School on Friday, 13th of November with an inspirational talk from our Dean Oscar Martinez at the Assembly to the pupils of The Swans International School.

This will be followed by a series of workshops for Swans pupils with the aim of enhancing their potential through structured activities that focus on the development of their educational skills and needs for their future.

Career Day at Swans International School in Marbella

Last Friday, for the first time and as only university, MIUC was invited to participate in the Career Day at Swans International School in Marbella. The event was organised by the Head of Business Department Chris French and Head of Communications Shahed Kavousi.

MIUC spent the morning in direct communication with Swan´s pupils. Professor of Economics Ming Jin and Patricia Skorsetz from Administration shared their points of view and experiences working in a university. While Ming Jin spoke enthusiastically and convincingly about the career steps necessary to becoming a professor and academic researcher in economics, Patricia provided the pupils with the answers to their queries concerning the vocation of an administrator and its essential role within a university. Pupils also gained insight into the different options available to them at MIUC, should they decide to pursue a University education.
