Undergraduate offers that connect students and society

CIVICA brings together 50,000 students and 10,000 faculty from eight world-renowned higher education institutions across Europe.

By strengthening inter-university and cross-national mobility, we are working towards a physically and digitally connected campus. This will allow students to engage in transnational academic experiences, well beyond any one institutional or national context.

At the undergraduate level, CIVICA recently launched the Engage Track, a multi-campus interdisciplinary bachelor experience with a focus on civic engagement.

Drawing on existing programmes at the Stockholm School of Economics and at Sciences Po, the CIVICA Engage Track offers students the opportunity to combine academics with civic commitment, thus internalising values like responsibility and sustainability through concrete action from an early stage on.
