Details

Student Hub aims to be an integrated circuit of services and information to improve the quality of reception and care of students, guided by an innovative model in which internal and external services are available physically and digitally: academic management services, social services, international relations and so on. 

But the Student Hub also serves the purpose of diversification of skills and the enhancement of skills for students through the creation of volunteer programs, civic/territorial initiatives and collaborative initiatives aiming social innovation. Therefore, a Design Thinking Laboratory and an Academy of Creators promoting activities that organize the scientific areas to respond to societal challenges are present, as well UC Transforma, a platform for volunteer offerings, and a Center for Student Employability. Generate talents, accompanying them and advising them, making their paths more flexible and connecting to different communities, institutions, entities, organizations and local businesses is also the objective of this new UC structure.
