The European Campus of City-Universities Alliance (EC2U) offers several Lifelong Learning courses for the 2025/2026 academic year. These courses are characterized by their cross-disciplinary approach and international dimension, engaging students from EC2U partner universities.

The Lifelong Learning offer is focused on helping students develop the soft and transversal skills required by the labor market and essential for navigating changes in today’s society. This collection is the result of the work carried out by the EC2U WP8 Lifelong Learning Subgroup, which mapped the courses available at each EC2U university. 

Among the offerings are courses on digital literacy, Artificial Intelligence and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are at the core of the UN global strategy, fostering “a better and more sustainable future”. Specifically, the Lifelong Learning selection focuses on topics that inspired the Alliance, such as Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Quality Education (SDG 4), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG 16).

This represents a valuable opportunity to broaden students’ knowledge, raise awareness, and foster a deeper understanding of global issues and challenges, while developing the skills needed to contribute to sustainable progress.

Take courses within the EC2U Alliance

You can find the courses available for the 2025-2026 academic year at this link.

Courses will be held in English, available both online (live and on-demand) and in person.

EC2U students can attend courses offered by the other EC2U partner universities as extra-curricular activities or, when delivered in person, these courses can be included in the Erasmus+ Learning Agreement or attended during a mobility period at the partner university offering them.

Courses offered by the student’s own university, on the other hand, can be attended by following the procedures established internally by their home institution

Students may use this registration process to enroll in courses offered by other universities within the Alliance. To enroll in courses offered by their home university, however, they must follow the home university’s internal procedures.

Course workloads and credits (up to a maximum of 10 ECTS) can vary. Depending on the internal regulations of each university, courses are offered either for free or with a small fee.
