The Cultural and Creativity Center of Baku State University (BSU) was established in 2020 based on the university’s former self-activity club. Its main mission is to organize cultural events, competitions, and festivals, provide opportunities for staff and students to showcase and develop their creativity, ensure the efficient use of students' leisure time, and instill patriotism among youth. The center also promotes national and universal values, supports multiculturalism, and integrates students into the cultural policies of Azerbaijan.
The center regularly organizes large-scale events, including literary-artistic evenings, competitions, exhibitions, and conferences, actively participating in social projects at the university. It also ensures the active participation of BSU staff and students in national cultural initiatives and artistic programs, while identifying and supporting talented students in their personal and creative development.
The center operates various student clubs, including instrumental and dance ensembles (for both male and female students), choir group, painting club, drama club.
