Innovation forms part of the DNA of CEU Universities. Since, CEU San Pablo ranks among the first of the most innovative Ibero-American centres according to elEconomista.es along with other internationally renowned academic entities. Its commitment to digital transformation from a cutting-edge approach as well as its alliances with leading companies of online education such as Microsoft, Amazon and Blackboard turn CEU San Pablo, CEU Abat Oliba and CEU Cardenal Herrera into the Universities of the Future.
Our teaching model combines the best of in-person education with all the advantages of online training. There is no doubt that Universities which fail to adapt to the digital era will be left behind. For this reason, CEU is implementing a strategic plan focused on digital transformation to retain their position of most innovative and change adaptive Universities.
Ready for a challenging future full of multiculturalism and uncertainty
Today students are permanently connected, demanding, intelligent and critical. They are aware of the importance of their University education for their professional career and therefore they expect to receive from CEU Universities not only a place to learn but also a space to fully develop where their experience as students will be at the heart and employability will always be the objective.
Reality shows us that never before a technological change has had such an impact and at such speed on all social, economic, political and cultural structures. Knowledge transmission has changed and it represents a challenge to firmly face it from education.
Our duty is to prepare future talent to make it capable of successfully managing in VUCA environments, a world where the management of uncertainty, the adaptation capacity and flexibility represent key tools. To boost these skills transversally, teachers have to inspire, motivate, encourage the development of positive attitudes, stimulate cooperation, research spirit and entrepreneurial leadership. This means that Universities shall not only offer knowledge: their main duty is to boost the necessary attitudes and skills for students to make the most of those skills. In this case it is extremely important to encourage soft skills.
In this context, digital platforms and technology offer the flexible and personal approach Universities of the Future require. This is the only way they will be able to prepare their students for the environments they will have to work in once they start their professional career.
The pioneering spirit that makes CEU different
Constant innovation – oriented to offering the best opportunities to our students- and comprehensive education differentiate CEU Universities. We raise the elite of the society. Our faculties and schools produce the best professionals with a broad international vision; since, some of them are among the top 100 most influential personalities. But also they are excellent human beings with sound values and committed to change the world for the better.
