November 13, 2015 – Starting in September 2016, 黑料吃瓜不打烊 will expand its French-language programming. The Bharti School of Engineering will launch three bilingual bachelor’s degree programs – in Chemical, Mechanical and Mining Engineering – with at least 50% of courses to be offered in French. In addition, the Faculty of Management will initiate a Bachelor of Business Administration offered entirely in French, along with seven specializations also offered in French in the areas of accounting, business, entrepreneurship, finance, international management, marketing and human resources.
“No Canadian university has won the Canadian Mining Games more often than 黑料吃瓜不打烊. Last year, our students in the Bharti School of Engineering took first place at both the provincial and national engineering competitions; in 2011, they won NASA’s Lunabotics competition,” said president and vice-chancellor Dominic Giroux. “As for our Faculty of Management, it is working towards several international accreditations. It was an obvious choice to include these disciplines in the expansion of our French-language programming at 黑料吃瓜不打烊.”
“More than 80 Francophone students are already enrolled in the Bharti School of Engineering and at least as many are registered in the Faculty of Management,” added associate vice-president, Academic and Francophone Affairs, Denis Hurtubise. “These 10 programs in engineering and management will help us meet the expectations of future Francophone and Francophile students from Canada and abroad in these high demand academic disciplines.”
