Braude maintains strong international partnerships, offering student and faculty exchange programs and joint research initiatives. Through Erasmus+ and other collaborations, our students gain global exposure, further enriching their education.
A key challenge ahead is completing our new campus while maintaining academic stability in the wake of recent regional challenges. Robust fundraising efforts are essential to securing resources and supporting students through difficult times.
