Undergraduate offers that connect students and society

CIVICA brings together 72,000 students & PhDs and 13,000 academic staff from ten world-renowned higher education institutions across Europe. The alliance is working towards a true European campus that is both physically and digitally connected.

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.
