CIDD attracting new members: University of Salford (UK), Università degli Studi di Brescia (I)
Two European universities applied for membership in 2008:
The University of Salford, a Greater Manchester university, has been running successfully a joint Master course with RISEBA for many years. With a history dating back to 1896, the University has established a successful global presence with four faculties, 12 schools, nearly 20,000 students, and 2,500 staff serving the needs of industry and commerce. The university was adopted as a full member in October 2008.
The Università degli Studi di Brescia, located in Italy’s North, offers Bologna-type undergraduate ("laurea") and graduate courses ("laurea specialistica") and post-laurea Master programmes in business, economics. In particular, the International Business programme is being interested in developing double degree arrangements with CIDD member universities. The formal voting on the university’s membership will take place at the Helsinki meeting of the consortium’s Assembly in June 2009.
