Once again this year, CEU San Pablo University is presenting its wide range of educational offerings at AULA, as well as its latest projects such as the CEU Metaverse, its 'Exploria' teaching programme and the 'El Orientadero' platform.

Experience the CEU Metaverse

What is a University in the Metaverse like? CEU San Pablo University has created a virtual universe or metaverse in which students can interact with each other and have a virtual academic experience that reinforces their face-to-face classes. Consulting doubts, downloading additional content for each subject, or taking tests that evaluate the recognitions in real time are some of the activities that can be carried out in this metaverse. An innovative platform that replicates the facilities of the University and its environment, which also allows administrative procedures and access to university services. Interested journalists can book their experience in the CEU Metaverse in this email.

Exploria: enriching teaching and learning activities

In the context of the digital society, faced with the new profile of students born in the 21st century and with different ways of being and learning, CEU San Pablo University has launched a programme that seeks to enrich and update the teaching activity and curricular content with new tools, methodologies and ways of teaching, promoting continuous training, internal collaboration and collaboration with the environment, as well as improving the learning of our students.

Key elements in Exploria's proposal are the transversality of knowledge, with special emphasis on humanistic subjects, so that our young people understand reality from a global and integrating perspective; comprehensive training in the academic, personal and professional facets; and orientation to the service of society, encouraging students to generate a positive impact on their environment.

The programme also seeks to deepen the sense of community between teachers and students, focusing on activating the student as the protagonist of the university process, enhancing their capacity for reflection and analysis, and developing their critical thinking.

Selection of studies: Exploria Summer Campus and El Orientadero

With the aim of helping future university students to discover their vocation, CEU San Pablo University launches immersive programmes of professional and academic orientation such as Exploria Summer Campus. An initiative that puts students to the test with the aim of checking which characteristics are predominant in their profile and getting to know in depth the careers and professions in the area that may interest them most.

Within the framework of this initiative, two activities will be carried out: Exploria Challenge and Exploria Orientation. In them, participants will compete in teams to solve a challenge linked to communication, health, business, technology and the legal field, accompanied by a university student as a monitor and an advisor from the Student Guidance Service. Participants will explore the professional fields of the selected area through visits, meetings and practical workshops with the best professors and professionals, putting their knowledge and skills into play.

Aula will also present the Guidance Centre. A content space designed to help students in the 4th year of ESO, 1st and 2nd year of Bachillerato from all over Spain in their choice for the coming courses. Study techniques or how to make the most of their time, find out about university enrolment processes, the degrees with the best career opportunities or international mobility are some of the contents that can be found on this platform.

New degrees 

With a view to the next academic year, and aware of the need to adapt its academic offer to the demands of society and the labour market, the University is presenting five new degrees at AULA:

- Degree in Bioinformatics and Big Data, which will allow students to study, analyse and process genetic, molecular and clinical information to generate new knowledge.

- Degree in Mathematical Engineering, applicable to fields as diverse as the study of diseases, the improvement of the greenhouse effect, the design of optimal trajectories for public transport and even the analysis of risks in a financial operation.

- Degree in Cloud Systems Engineering and IoT (Internet of Things); a pioneering degree that opens the door to monitoring companies, products and even city resources.

- Degree in Engineering in Animation and Video Game Technologies, focused on technology and computing, will enable you to work as an engineer and developer in the world of video games or animation.

- Degree in Digital Art, which fuses art, creativity and technology. It can be taken as a double degree with the previous one.
