The International University of Monaco held its traditional graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 24, in the prestigious setting of the Salle des Princes of the Grimaldi Forum.
More than 1,300 close friends from all over the world celebrated with the students the end of a cycle and an important chapter in their lives. Representing more than 75 countries, these new graduates have joined the ranks of IUM alumni, whose number now stands at 2,782.
The Best School Spirit Award, the Monaco Outreach Award, and the Contribution to the Future Award were among the prizes given.
The “Peace & Sport” association, represented by its President and Founder Joël Bouzou, came to honour the event, which conveys a message about the values of the association.
In terms of new developments in 2017, the graduation ceremony was marked by the Bachelor’s degree “Monaco Banking and Financial Services”, a programme offered for the first time this year, created in partnership with the Prince’s government and AMAF, the Monegasque Association of Financial Activities.
Thirty-one years after its first beginnings, the International University of Monaco now offers four specialisations in Bachelors degrees and five specialised Masters, in Finance, Luxury Management, International Marketing, Luxury Marketing and Sport Management, an AMBA-accredited MBA and a DBA that bring together a total of more than 600 students at its premises at Stade Louis II.

The outstanding catalogue that accompanied the exhibition “Designing Dreams, A Celebration of Léon Bakst” has been named by the New York Times art critic Roberta Smith as one of the best art books of 2017.
The exhibition by the same name was held at the New National Museum of Monaco’s Villa Sauber from October 23, 2016, to January 15, 2017.
The publication, edited by Célia Bernasconi, John E. Bowlt and artist Nick Mauss, brings together the scientific contributions of leading researchers, art historians and dance historians to pay tribute to the greatest stage designer of the modern era. It highlights Bakst's greatest achievements for the stage, but also aims to demonstrate his decisive influence in textile design and fashion.
The fabric covers of each work, available in five colours, were stencilled by Nick Mauss during a residency in Monaco, inspired by motifs created by Léon Bakst.
Designing Dreams, A Celebration by Léon Bakst, presents in detail Bakst's drawings, costumes and motifs for fabrics, his unpublished writings on decoration and fashion, new studies on his sources of inspiration and the sharing of his vision. It also includes the installations and scenography realised in situ by Nick Mauss.
