The University Centre Saint-Ignatius Antwerp (UCSIA) is an offspring of the former Jesuit institution of UFSIA. It is an independent non-profit organization founded by the Jesuit Order and members of the former UFSIA with the aim of continuing the Jesuit tradition of involvement in university education, research and community service in the Flemish and Antwerp region. The main focus of is on problems and issues that express the Christian ideology thus serving the faith and culture and contributing to a more just society.
History
UCSIA complements the main tasks of the University of Antwerp (research, education and service to science and society). Our approach is multidisciplinary, which asks for an intense cooperation with other national and international academic centres. The ignatian and jesuit nature are two other essential ingredients of our mission and activity.
