More about the Certificate in Student Engagement and Leadership

The University of Luxembourg values the involvement of its students. Whether you are part of the student delegation or take action on the campus, you can get recognition for your engagement!

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.
