Leonardo Programme! Most students have heard about in Europe and the luckiest ones have even had a work experience thank to this international program set up by the European Commission.  I am sure you have already read on the Leonardo Da Vinci Programme Europe but you may ask: How this can be good for me?

The European Union’s aim was to foster an initiative which triggers lifelong learning, cross border knowledge sharing and best practices in 31 European Countries. So how can you, as a business student, can take advantage of this?

Stress less job? Yeah, that is what your doctor will subscribe you! My co-editor mate has just had a really nice article on demanding jobs (least stressful jobs) so let me deal with it.

Double degree is an ever more becoming popular way of getting two degrees with the sacrifices of getting only one degree. However, there are some myths about it, so let me shortly clarify how it works and the principles behind it.

Economic recession... a global financial crisis... that is all what we have heard during the last one month. Salaries not growing, costs going up, jobs being cuts and mainly no new jobs being created… many business graduates are thinking about taking a MBA degree now but the question is, is it worthy?

Expatriates, or the so called white-collar workers with a job in a country other than their home country usually adapt very slowly to the local culture and they are looking for places that are common even in their home countries.

I am still in China on a business trip, and after two weeks I somehow get into a McDonald's fast food restaurant. Impressively, I have not seen such a high rate of non-Chinese people in one place at the same time in China so far! Of course, I know it is not only expatriates, but many businessmen as well! I would exclude the tourists, this is not exactly the quarter for the tourists.

Salaries is a question that many students studying business and wanting to pursue an international career take into consideration already during their bachelor degree and even more during their master degree. We all think of the money we will earn, and cannot wait to get our pay slips, and as much as it is possible.

If you have been following the Business Students Portal in the last years you might have realized that in the last months we have been working particularly hard on the website. Indeed, now we also have a Blog section and you are just reading the first blog post! :)

In this section we will give subjective opinions concerning the news of the business education and this will also be the foyer of hot topics to be discussed in the forum section.  As one of the first topics we will touch the importance of career events (how to get a job or an internship at your dream company) and how an exchange program Erasmus program can make your curriculum worthy.
