our students can go for one semester, thanks in part to the study
grant provided by UIC Barcelona. A total of 10 ADE students
have already gone to Berkeley (21% from other faculties). ADE

Double bachelor’s degrees. Our faculty has two strategical
international partners with whom we offer international double
bachelor’s degrees in different modalities: (1) The Politecnico di
Turino in Italy, and (2) Birkbeck, University of London in the UK.
The Politecnico di Turino, a renowned institution in Italy,
stands among the largest and the oldest, consistently ranking
among the top universities in Italy and Europe. ADE offers
double bachelor’s degrees and double master’s degrees
with the Politecnico di Turino. Since 2015, ADE has received
approximately 500 incoming students from Turin and sent about
200 students to Turin. The strength of this partnership is evident
in the ongoing trend as seen in Figure 5.
