hi everyone my name is Alessio Lucio and
I am the deputy director of the global
BBA program and I'm based in the
sofianti police campus
I'm going to tell you a little bit about
some very special students that we are
extremely lucky to welcome every year in
our BBA program and those students are
athletes
artists and entrepreneurs so first of
all our athletes are competing at the
highest possible level possible some of
them are competing at the European
Championship level sometimes World Cups
and we all we also have athletes
competing at at the Olympic Games so our
athletes compete in many many different
disciplines to give an example we have
tennis players horse riders we have
windsurfers kite Surfers swimmers okay
so we have a huge variety of disciplines
present at the global BBA program on top
of athletes we are extremely proud
extremely happy to count also artists we
have singers dancers musicians in our
program and finally let's not not forget
about our young entrepreneurs every
single year we welcome students that are
passionate about entrepreneurship they
have a project and they set up their own
company so thanks to schema Venture
their projects are incubated on our
campus
across across the world so globally we
have professionals and and professors
that are there to help them to guide
them across all campuses so at schema
Global BBA we do believe that the
students should not make a choice
between
Sports and continuing its study now the
problem is carrying on those activities
while studying can be quite challenging
because it's very time consuming it
often requires lots of sacrifices but we
are confident that these profiles are
Fighters that goal orientated and we
need to make it happen we need to be
able to help them to fulfill their goals
so how do we do it
first of all we try to support them
financially secondly we allow them to
have more flexibility in their timetable
so for example when they're competing
abroad or trying to find some business
partners we can online we can organize
online coaching sessions to sit to suit
that timetable we can also postpone the
examination give them extend deadline
for for uh for assessment there's plenty
of things that we can do
foreign
so in a nutshell we do everything
possible for them to be able to continue
and carry on living fully their passion
while studying at the global BBA program
so if you're an athlete
if you're a young entrepreneur planning
to set up your company or if you have
already set up your company if you're an
artist and you think that you need to
make a choice between living fully your
passion or studying well I suggest you
just join the global BBA program because
we'll you'll be able to do both
[Music]
good
Academic advisors
In this video, Alessio Lucio, academic director of the Global BBA, talks about the tutoring system at the school.
hi everyone so uh pleased to see you my
name is Alessia Lucho and I am the
global BBA academic director based here
in Sofia antipolis okay so the first
thing I would like to say is that the
global BBA program is extremely flexible
and by flexible we mean that it offers
students plenty of possibility and and
potentially plenty of choices to make
now this flexibility this possibility to
make choices choices of courses choices
of Mobility uh is can be seen as a great
opportunity right it can be seen as
something good but on the other hand it
could be quite overwhelming for our
students so how do we overcome that
potential difficulty well we have a
dedicated team of academic advisor that
are here basically to guide to assist
our students all throughout their uh
their uh their education and to guide
them basically in their choices so the
team of academic advisors are all
teachers in the global PBA program which
is extremely important why because they
know the program really well that's the
first thing second thing they are
absolutely fluid in English okay which
obviously helps as the program is taught
100 in English and the third thing is
that they are present on campus at least
between three to four times a week
available for face-to-face meeting and
if not possible obviously there's also
the alternative of organizing teams
meetings there is a minimum set of
meetings that that are organized per
semester which is basically three
meetings but there's no maximum amount
of meetings so whenever a student needs
some guidance some some advice needs
basically an academic advisor feel free
just to contact it to reach out so
academic advisors are here to help
they're here to answer the questions
they're here to guide but by all means
they're not there to take responsibility
they're not there to to make the choices
on behalf of the students we are really
insisting on students owning the future
taking responsibility being independent
and as autonomous as possible so to
conclude I think that
having these academic advisors is a
great opportunity for our students first
of all to share the concerns to ask for
guidance to uh to discuss potential
issues
to plan the future and to share
ambitions
[Music]
The tutors are dedicated teachers who are on campus three to four days per week. They meet individually with each student at least six times a year. But there is no limit to how many times a student may seek their tutor’s assistance. A simple schedule hangs next to tutors’ doors, and that’s all that’s needed to guarantee a 15-minute, to one-hour, appointment within two days at most.
Tutors are mentors, who foster students’ ambitions and professional goals. They are also advisors, sharing their insights on industry and job market trends to optimize students’ profiles. They guide students within the limits of what is possible, yet they only provide advice: students remain the sole and final decision-makers of their academic choices.
For our students, tutors are a special human link with the school, as well as for their parents who also have direct access to them.
