This week saw a lot of
interaction among the students of the Diploma Program and Universities which
visited the campus to share the unique opportunities that they offer to
students for undergraduate study. In the run up to the preparations for college
applications, this US University Fair surely gave direction and some guidance
to both the decided and the undecided student on the way forward. As a prelude
to all these discussions, a presentation on ‘Financial Aid and Scholarship
Information’ was jointly conducted by the Admissions Officers of the different
universities.
SciencesPo, a leading university
of France,
visited our campus today. Since its creation in 1871, SciencesPo has
been France’s preeminent university for the social sciences. Its alumni include
a Secretary General of the United Nations, four Managing Directors of the IMF,
numerous corporate leaders and five of the last seven Presidents of the
Republic. Many of the classes are taught in French, but it is possible to study
entirely in English. They offer dual degrees in with international partners
including Columbia University in New York, the London School of Economics and
Fudan University in Shanghai. The interaction of our students with Ms. Neha
Khanna, the Deputy Representative of SciencesPo to India, has sparked a lot of
interest in the students of our senior grade and true to the spirit of the IB,
they are exploring these opportunities that present themselves from different
parts of the world.
