Social Engagement at UCG
Global challenges is a part of our core programme during the first year. Global challenges approaches the great challenges of the 21st Century from several perspectives. Problems such as the financial and economic crisis, use of natural resources, hunger and obesity will be addressed in lectures, study group seminars and debates with guest speakers, from either a business, systemic or individual perspective. After completing the global challenges course, our students will put their knowledge into practice during our interdisciplinary project work. Find about more about these projects and social engagement at UCG here.
