The NCU, New courses at the University
The aim of this government action is to support universities, schools and groups of institutions that propose projects that meet three complementary priorities.
- The creation of these new courses, in order to ensure better student success through a diversification of courses adapted to the diversity of the public receiving a degree;
- Support for ambitious lifelong learning projects and the adaptation of the university training offer to the needs of people engaged in professional life;
- The evolution of higher education induced by the digital revolution and the implementation of true digital universities favouring both the transformation of university teaching and the pursuit of distance studies.
