This fully consolidates UAO CEU and EIP as specialist universities in using protocol as a communication tool.

The University organises the event in collaboration with the Managerial Association of Advertising.

Following the principles established by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), UAO CEU and EIP strive for personalised education that focuses on the student. It goes beyond merely transmitting knowledge and encourages reflection, creative attitudes and the ability to learn how to learn.

To achieve this, students have personal academic and professional tutoring from faculty who guide them towards choosing their specialisation itinerary in the course structure as well as in the transition to the workplace.

At UAO CEU, we organise various international advertising events (Drac Novell, GoliAds) that allow students to get to grips with international communication in a practical way.
