141 students study the Degree in attendance of Management at the University of Navarra, between first and fourth year. They come from 10 different countries: Moldova, Italy, Guinea, Ecuador, China, France, Luxembourg, Uruguay, Venezuela and Spain. In addition, another 14 international students are doing an Erasmus stay this semester at ISSA School of Management Assistants.

This is the first year that the four courses of the Degree in attendance of Management are studied at campus in Pamplona. Three years ago, the progressive transfer of the new courses was initiated from San Sebastian to Pamplona. Last June saw the graduation of the 50th graduating class of the School and the last one that had taken the four courses in the capital of Gipuzkoa.

On Thursday, September 1, classes began again. New and old students enjoyed the Welcome workshop , reunions and presentations. Some of them told us about their plans for this year:

 

Javier Apaolaza [ISSA'19].
Gipuzkoa
2nd of Degree at attendance de Dirección
high school Mayor Belagua Tower II

"FORUN IS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE"

Last year he took part in the University's congress Forun with a team of Architecture students. And what's more, they won. "Diagrama habitable de la familia" was titled their work. "Participating in Forun has been an amazing experience. I learned a lot and met a lot of people," she says.

Javier has started the 2nd year of Degree at attendance de Dirección and says that what he liked the most about degree program is the wide variety of subjects, from Law, Accounting, Computer Science or languages.

 

Matilde Ortega [ISSA'20].
Gipuzkoa
1st of the Degree in attendance of Direction
residency program María Emilia Riquelme
 

"I WOULD LOVE TO STUDY SOME SEMESTER IN PARIS."

She has the experience of her sister Lucía, currently in the 4th year of degree program, and is committed to learning languages. For this reason, when she finished high school she did not hesitate to study the Degree in attendance de Dirección. 

ISSA students, during the second semester of the third year of degree program, do a overseas study period. Matilde Ortega has started first, but it is clear to her that she would like to do it in Paris (France) since the first language she has chosen to study the Degree in attendance of Management is French.

Last year Matilde played volleyball on a team in San Sebastian and would like to continue playing here. "And maybe also paddle tennis, do volunteer activities or participate in some activity at the Museum," she says.

 

Santiago Gamarra [ISSA' 19].
Uruguay
2nd of Degree in attendance of Direction
high school Mayor Mendaur

"LIVING IN AN OLDER HIGH SCHOOL GIVES YOU VALUES".

Santiago Gamarra is from Uruguay, although with a perfect Uruguayan accent he confesses that he has been living in Murcia for more than 10 years. During the course he lives in the high school Mayor Mendaur and this year also with the experience of being a veteran. He assures that what he likes the most is that it brings him "added values", which no other subject of residency program offers him, and the integrity that there is: "we are all a team".

During the course of this year he would like to do some volunteer activities with children, possibly in Tantaka, as he has already done with Mother Teresa's organization in Birmingham, with the Company of Mary in Burgos and with the Jesuits.
