CEU Digital Technologies is the specialized vertical in
advanced technologies of CEU Digital and represents the instructive outreach of
the CEU educational group in technologies of the digital age. It aims to
promote an efficient, innovative, and adaptable ecosystem, bringing together
students, companies, institutions and CEU Universities, involving the finest digital
talent, aligned to the public interest, the empowerment of women in this field,
and to employability. The objective is to promote the sustainable digital
transformation of our economy and our society through programs offered in co-operation
with leading technology companies.
These partnerships allow CEU Digital Technologies to
offer modular and certifiable training programs in the new technologies that
will substantiate the labor demand in the coming years. These will be
proprietary degrees with a disruptive impact on the economy and institutions,
which will play a large part in shaping the development of digital society:
• CLOUD COMPUTING PROGRAM, powered by AWS (Amazon).
• ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM, powered by Microsoft.
• DATA SCIENCE PROGRAM, powered by SAS.
The ecosystem also includes companies such as Fujitsu,
Generali, Telefónica, Everis, Enimbos, and Capgemini that have already joined
as partners and collaborate in the demands of the courses and/or in the study scholarship
programs.
The training partners are companies and institutions that collaborate in
the practical development of the programs, managing challenges with social objectives,
and allowing our students to obtain comprehensive applied training. The
Training Partners participate in the proposal, monitoring and assessment of the
practical challenges encountered by the students of the courses.
The recruiting partners are companies and institutions that collaborate by
providing scholarships to our students to recruit them and incorporate new expertise
into their organizations.
CEU Women partners are companies and institutions that are committed to
promoting female expertise in technology and providing scholarships to our
female students so that they can be employed by these organizations.
