It contributes to the personal development of students through workshops, courses, seminars and events related to theatre, cinema, literature and the arts. Its overarching aim is to foster collaborative networks and to strengthen the cultural fabric. Our cultural policy is innovative and responsive to contemporary trends. It seeks to offer a diverse and inclusive programme that embraces a multiplicity of artistic expressions, directed both at the university community and at society at large.
