In addition, as part of a unique program initiated by the college, students from the various departments can integrate into employment positions in the area already during their studies and gain practical experience.

And the result: most of the working students join the job market regularly after graduation.

The approximately 5,000 students of the academic and non-academic study tracks create a rich and vibrant campus with extensive activity of art events, exhibitions, conferences, symposia and seminars.

Students from the departments of education, social work, psychology and nutrition are involved in dozens of academic and social projects: in centers for the prevention of domestic violence, in assistance centers for victims of sexual assault, in rehabilitation prisons, in hospitals, in schools, and more.
As a ‘green campus’, which has the Ministry of Environmental Protection’s seal of quality, the campus regulates the treatment of waste generated at the college, operates a comprehensive recycling system, emphasizes energy saving and other aspects of protecting the environment.
The project is conducted under the guidance of the center for green technologies in the college and the green council of the campus, and students from the departments of environmental sciences and biotechnology are active in it.
