USJ Polytechnic School lecturer Jorge Echeverría has recently been in Stockholm, Sweden where he participated in the 27th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE’15).

The themes of the conference were creativity, ability and integrity in information systems engineering, three key components for enabling information systems to move beyond traditional information management and to organically blend into the environment, appealing to large and diverse user bases.

San Jorge University last week visited Germany to continue working on international projects with various institutions in the Bavaria region.

During a visit to Hochschule Deggendorf, various collaborative projects were discussed including student and teaching staff exchanges, summer schools, double degree programmes and research work, all within the framework of a consortium that includes other universities from Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic as well as Germany and Spain.

More international projects with Latin American universities will soon be possible thanks to the framework agreement that San Jorge has signed with the Centro Mexicano Universitario de Ciencia y Humanidades (CMUCH), located in the Mexican city of Puebla. The university school specializes in health sciences, particularly around Physiotherapy, the area in which we will initially develop collaborative activities.

Five USJ students can take a FREE English course at the University of Central Lancashire this summer thanks to an agreement between the two universities.

The UCLAN English courses have a practical student-centred approach and offer the chance to work around one of three themes: Sport, Culture or Business in order to focus on specific language competences.

UCLAN student accommodation near the University, located in Preston, in the north of England near Manchester, is available to all participants in the programmes for 100 GBP/week.
