Life at Campus
Talent is expressed differently in each and every one of us and becoming a member of the Tec community gives you the opportunity to embrace a student environment where you can discover, put into practice or drive your talent. The Tec offers innumerable opportunities for your integral education and for you to combine your professional studies with whatever you are passionate about.
At Tecnológico de Monterrey, we believe wholeheartedly that artistic expression is the space where our students can realize their potential to project their ideas, concerns and emotions, either through singing and music, drama, literature, the plastic arts or dance.
As a result, we offer cultural classes and workshops in which you can learn, practice or improve your skills in different artistic disciplines, such as contemporary dance, jazz, hip hop, Latin rhythms, Arabian dance, Irish dance, guitar, keyboard, percussions, painting and photography, among others.
You can participate in traditional plays, revues, ensembles, concerts, or join one of the dance, music, theater and singing companies.
