To face today's world which is now more than ever under constantly changing forces and to gain a proper understanding of the unprecedented challenges that affect the different business stakeholders and various players in the business scenario, I chose the CdLM IRC at the University of Catania. I enrolled in this course in order to develop and enhance my specific knowledge of both the legal and economic field. For me, the two main strengths of the course come from its diversity in terms of multidisciplinary approach and its pro-active lectures in business English. Professors at IRC are an incredible source of knowledge. From their different backgrounds and personality I learned a great deal, improving my mind-set and defining my goals. Last but not least, thanks to its channels, with private and public sectors, I had the opportunity to have a bespoke "stage" during my studies that gave me a competitive edge in my job search. My achievements nowadays are strictly tied to that choice! In a nutshell, I can dare to say that IRC has been like a "springboard" for my life...it has built and is still building my future.

I had the honor to attend IRC, graduating in May 2010. This experience has deeply influenced my career and provided me with rare specialist skills and tools in the world of Italian educational offerings. I think that is a challenging, innovative, multidisciplinary path.
Moreover, it is characterized by a remarkable international level. The teaching methods and professors' professionalism have made every exam an opportunity for comparison and
enrichment. There is no doubt: an IRC student is forever!
