The Hive (La Colmena)
In today’s interdependent, complex and ever-changing world it is essential to boast an interdisciplinary profile in addition to an innovative and renewed education, and to have a set of transversal skills that complement this academic and professional training. These competencies are learnt as part of a set of areas defined in the UCJC Transversal Competencies Model ranging from the personal to the social sphere, promoting a holistic transformation process through learning.
To do this, The Hive (La Colmena®) proposes a challenge-based methodology defined around our strategic axes: entrepreneurship, digitization, social impact and wellbeing.
