At Facens University Center, we carry out many initiatives to enhance the student experience, keep them engaged, and ensure that our educational model prepares each of them for today’s global challenges. Among these, we highlight:
The month prior to the start of classes is dedicated to Facens freshmen as well as candidates who took the entrance exam that year but have not yet enrolled. During this period, students participate in review sessions of core subjects that will be covered in their respective courses, along with many integration activities.
A special moment that is part of the welcome program is UP! Facens, an event organized to help students prepare for university life by integrating with upperclassmen and the Facens community at large. On this occasion, students have the opportunity to attend lectures, participate in group activities, and engage in campus experiences, in addition to taking part in UP! Solidário — an initiative focused on supporting institutions and causes relevant to the city. This provides a meaningful first contact with the culture of generosity widely fostered through various actions at Facens University Center.
Facens University Center has international partnerships with various educational institutions around the world, providing students with opportunities both on and off campus. These include exclusive exchange programs with scholarship processes, dual degree options, and internship opportunities abroad.
Facens University Center has 10 Innovation Centers in the following areas: Games, Apps, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Metaverse and Blockchain (LIGA); Smart City Solutions; Digital Content Production (ED+ Content Hub); Social Innovation (LIS); Digital Fabrication Laboratory (FabLab); Artificial Intelligence; Hardware, Software, and Firmware Product and System Development; Entrepreneurship and Open Innovation (FACE); Well-being and Quality of Life (Enlace); and Student Competitions (LINCE).
Throughout the year, many events are held to provide updates, experiences, contact with companies, projects, and exhibitions.
Examples include Plugins Carreiras e Mercado and Inovação e Competições, freshmen welcoming activities, lectures, seminars, talks, and panel discussions, among others.
Facens students are offered internship and full-time job opportunities, along with support that ranges from how to build a résumé to how to present themselves in an interview, with actions and tools focused on entering the job market.
Students who face difficulties in certain subjects can seek support from peer tutors, who provide assistance with academic activities.
Students have access to psychopedagogical support to assist with their studies, learning difficulties, and issues that may affect their academic performance.
The Alumni Project plays an important role in maintaining connections with our graduates and fostering meaningful interactions between them, current students, and the institution.
We launched a new talk show on Facens Play, the official YouTube channel of Facens University Center. In this program, we interview Facens alumni who share their experiences and professional journeys after graduation. In the first semester of 2024, we had the pleasure of speaking with Denni Arakawa, Alison Iared, Anderson Torres, and Mayla Cruz. The talk show provides insights into the stories of our graduates and how they have developed their careers after completing their degrees.
