Architecture and Design: BE OPEN'S Ranking of Educational Programmes in CIS, Central Asia and Oceania
The comprehensive study involved analysis of more than 160 programmes selected from 75 schools from the target regions. In accordance with BE OPEN's research methodology, top programmes have been arranged into groups according to specific sets of criteria:
Unlike most of the research in the educational sphere, the system developed by BE OPEN evaluates not the schools and their material resources, but the value of educational programmes they offer, i.e. the unique opportunities with which each particular course endows its graduates - not so much in terms of its prestige, as in the breadth of horizons and connections.
Elena Baturina , founder of BE OPEN, says: " ".
The Ranking is part of BE OPEN's educational initiative Inside the Academy and was conceived for two main groups: applicants to academic programmes in design and architecture around the world, and potential employers. It has already mapped 83 creative educational programmes in Europe , 208 programmes in North America , 34 in Africa , 102 in South America , and 96 programmes in Asia .
The next step of the project is systematizing the results obtained from all the world regions into a single database that will further on be revaluated and updated regularly.
