Realizing what attributes graduates need in order to succeed in a competitive and dynamic job market is a priority on our agenda.

▪        Elective-Course Offer:

Electives are flexible courses that enrich Degree Programs. An elective course is one chosen by a student from a number of optional subjects or courses in a curriculum, as opposed to a required course which the student must take. While required courses are deemed essential for an academic degree, elective courses tend to be more specialized. Elective courses usually have fewer students than required courses and they are designed to enhance the students' selected field of study

▪        Attending Conferences and/or Talks:

Students must attend conferences and talks organized by the different academic units at Belgrano. This requisite is meant to expose students to keynote speeches from experts in their field and get inspiration about their work.

It will help them in choosing a do-able topic, and breaking the project into small, manageable units.

▪        Certificate qualifications:

T he incorporation of professional skill-based certificate-level qualifications are a supplement to conventional degree level courses. Combining a degree with a certificate can provide students with a competitive profile when applying for a position. Students achieve greater intellectual development and deeper knowledge of the discipline when applying problem-solving capacities, critical thinking, interpersonal skills, intercultural competencies, commitments to social service, and even career development in such areas as Administration, Finances, Real State, Taxation, Law, Politics, International Relations, Organizational Psychology and English Language.

▪        The ‘employability’ Agenda:

Future employment is also a concern at Belgrano. The relationship between Degree Programs and the productive sector is strong and instrumental in articulating the employer-higher education interface and in developing the graduate attributes required for their professional workplace. Supervised by faculty, students attend field trip visits in the academic year and attend guest speaker talks coming from different backgrounds e.g., public and private sectors, corporate, entrepreneurship and small business as well as social work.
