University Courses Talks

University Courses (UC) Talks is an initiative launched by the Foundations Development Directorate to enrich the educational experience within the University Courses curriculum. Through the series, we invite faculty members to deliver seminars that explore and expand upon key themes and questions raised in university courses. Designed as a space for intellectual engagement beyond the classroom, UC Talks encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the challenges shaping our world today.
