St. Joseph’s College of Commerce has paved the way for International exchange programmes through its International twinning initiatives, Cultural Exchange and Summer Abroad Programmes.

In recognition of the said objectives, the Institution has collaborated with Swansea University, UK, Kobe College Japan, ESDES France, Eastern Institute of Technology, New Zealand, University of St. Andrews and University of The West of Scotland.

Swansea University, UK

Swansea University is a research driven institute that thrives on exploration and discovery. It shares a profusion of values with St. Joseph’s College of Commerce, such as its emphatic drive to provide top- notch education to its students. Over the past few years the college has established a strong relationship with Swansea in terms of academic twinning and cultural exchange programmes. This initiative seeks to explore the possibility of developing collaborative and mutually beneficial activities. Undergraduate students of St. Joseph’s College of Commerce have been participating in this 1 + 2 -year twinning programme since 2010. As of date, 20 students have partaken in this programme. Under the Cultural Exchange partnership with the Swansea University, between 1st August 2016 and 21st August 2016, 11 students from Swansea University, Swansea, Wales, took part in the Study and Cultural Programme organized by the International Desk with support from BBA students. During their visit to India, the students attended classes and seminars, went sightseeing in local areas and interacted with the students from our college. They also undertook volunteering work with Non-Governmental Organizations in Solur and Mundgod which are longstanding missions of St. Joseph’s College of Commerce. Yoga sessions, an interface with doctors of Narayana Institute of Neurosciences, an interaction with Hashmi theatre (theatre club) and art experience were some of the highlights of the Programme this year.

As part of the six -month International Business Programme (IBP), the International Desk propagated information about the Programme (which is a part of the alliance drawn with ESDES, France). An experience sharing session and a guidance workshop was conducted for the applicants to the Programme.

It is a 3 year full time Programme, with a one plus two year twinning (one year study in India and two years in New Zealand) available for St Joseph’s College of Commerce students.
