Open to all enrolled students, the certificate rewards your involvement in student life, because what you do outside the classroom matters too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a glance, the idea is simple: if you\u2019re already volunteering, organising events, representing students, or taking part in workshops across the University, you can turn that commitment into something official. By collecting 10 to 15 ECTS credits through activities listed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/11\/24150616\/Student-engagement-programmev3.pdf\">official catalogue<\/a> and during your academic years, you earn a University Certificate that recognises your engagement, leadership skills, and initiative, on top of your degree and at no extra cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond credits, the certificate reflects the University\u2019s vision of student life as a space to experiment, innovate, and grow. As Vice-Rector Philippe Hiligsmann said it, the goal is to give students \u201cthe tools and incentives to take control of their own journey and bring their own energy to student life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re already involved, or thinking about it, this certificate makes sure your engagement doesn\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/study-programs\/certificate-in-student-engagement-and-leadership\/\"\n                target=\"_blank\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Start your engagement <\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This new certificate formally recognises students who actively contribute to university life and the wider community through leadership, volunteering, and civic initiatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":344,"featured_media":50933,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[13,12],"news-topic":[],"organisation":[233],"authorship":[344],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>From student life to your CV: A certificate you don\u2019t want to miss - University of Luxembourg<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This new certificate formally recognises students who actively contribute to university life and the wider community through leadership, volunteering, and civic initiatives.
