Educação pode mudar sua vida

Milan is crowded with ltalian icons, which makes it even more of a cultural earthquake that one of Italy’sleading universities  — the Politecnico di Milano — is going to switch to the English language. The universityhas announced  that from 2014 most of its degree courses — including all its  graduate courses — will be taught and assessed entirely in English rather than Italian.
The waters of globalisation are rising around higher education — and the university believes that if it remains Italian-speaking it risks  isolation and will be unable to compete as an international  institution. “We strongly believeour classes should be international classes — and the only way to have  international classes is to use the Englishlanguage”, says the university’s rector, Giovanni Azzone .
