More about the Certificate in Student Engagement and Leadership

Getting involved means becoming a proactive contributor to building a society that is more innovative, inclusive, and responsible.
Through educational, cultural, civic, or sports-related initiatives, students play an active role in shaping both university life and the broader community. This type of engagement goes far beyond social contribution: it’s a powerful opportunity for personal growth and professional development.
Driven by the Vice-Rectorate for Academic and Student Affairs, this new initiative empowers you to gain transferable skills, hands-on experience, and human-centered competencies – all formally recognised by the University through this certificate.
