The desire to recreate professional environments to facilitate learning has always been of the characteristic features of education at CEU. Being able to put theoretical learning into practice while still at the University really helps our students prepare themselves for real life in employment. But achieving this requires two things in particular:
- A focus on innovation in teaching: the desire to develop new forms of learning and of demonstrating achievement in learning.
- An ability to invest in in-house facilities: the infrastructure necessary to facilitate a truly practical education at university is costly, both to build and to maintain. Due to our status as an educational foundation, all the fees paid by our students are invested in our educational activities, enabling us to improve our Advanced Learning Facilities, year after year.
