The International Development Office (IDO) has recently secured two new agreements for Global Education Exchange with international institutions in Europe. IDO signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the EDHEC Business School with campuses in Nice and Lille, France, as well and the Univerzita Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic.
EDHEC Business School is one of the top 15 European schools for business, and holds campuses not only in France, but London and Singapore as well. EDHEC was established in 1906 and has since practiced over a century of independent, pragmatic, non-conformist, education with significant attention placed on entrepreneurship, both for students and the institution itself.
With their “learning by doing” philosophy, students will have the chance to engage in internationally focused business courses and research activities that will widen their perspective and provide valuable experiences for the future.

The Czech Republic’s Univerzita Hradec Králové (UHK) is located in the Hradec Králové region of Bohemia, just 100km away from Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic. This university was established in 2000 by renaming the pre-existing University College of Education, which dates back to 1959.
UHK university has a long history of training teachers for future generations. UHK currently has many study units covering areas within the Faculty of Education, Faculty of Informatics and Management, the Faculty of Arts, and the Faculty of Science. UHK’s educational diversity allows students to craft an individualized and creative study path in an international setting within a city that holds a deep history.
These newly acquired schools, as well as UIC's current partners, provide life-changing opportunities for UIC students to gain diverse international experiences in their desired field of study, while also becoming internationally-savvy travelers hosting a lifetime of unforgettable memories.
