Do You Know What Makes Us Unique?

Five components make our institution a unique option for your development and truly unleash your transformational potential in full:

AN EDUCATIONAL MODEL THAT CHALLENGES YOU

Your teachers will continuously and deliberately challenge you to go forward and solve problems.

No more courses as you knew them, with knowledge that is not necessarily connected. Yes, to continuous challenges in real, diverse environments to forge within you the person you are destined to become.

Aprende significativamente

Nuestro modelo educativo te dará la oportunidad de integrarte con agilidad a la investigación, innovación y emprendimiento antes de terminar tu etapa universitaria.

Además, podrás desarrollar una mentalidad flexible, enfrentándote constantemente a retos del entorno real, que te ayudarán a desarrollar competencias profesionales únicas, con la guía de nuestros profesores, disfrutando así de una vivencia memorable.

¿Qué es un reto?

Es una oportunidad para aprender algo nuevo y afianzar lo que ya sabes. En cada uno vas a enfrentar desafíos, investigar, construir y probar soluciones, equivocarte, acertar y crecer.

¡Lo mejor! lo harás de la mano de empresas, instituciones y organizaciones líderes en el mercado y con asesoría docente que te acompañan en el proceso.

COMPETENCIES THAT MAKE YOU UNIQUE

Self-knowledge and management: which involves getting to know yourself and developing your wellbeing project, integrating your emotional and intellectual resources.
Innovative entrepreneurship: to generate innovative solutions that will create value for society.
Social intelligence: to generate effective collaboration and negotiation environments in multicultural contexts, appreciating and respecting diversity of knowledge and people.
Commitment to ethics and citizenship: to implement projects for environmental transformation and the common good.
Reasoning for complexity: to permit the analysis, synthesis and solution of problems.
Communication: to relate effectively using diverse context-appropriate languages, resources and strategies.
Digital transformation: to address professional issues by incorporating cutting-edge digital technologies.

¿Cómo se vive el Modelo Educativo?

Nuestro modelo se vive por etapas y tu plan de estudios está conformado por diferentes tipos de unidades de formación, con objetivos y contenidos definidos.

Dichas unidades de formación se integran por:

BLOQUES | MATERIAS | SEMANAS TEC | SEMESTRE TEC

The new components of your curriculum are called educational units, of which there are different types: courses, blocks and Tec weeks or Week 18.

In the blocks, you will be tackling challenges connected to reality, sparking your motivation and curiosity.

Exploration

During the first semesters, you will be exploring a field of study to discern and confirm your inclination for a particular degree. You will acquire the foundations of this area and experience challenges to consolidate your knowledge. This way, from the day you start your studies, depending on your area of interest, you will be able to choose between 6 entrances: Business, Social Sciences, Creative Studies, Built Environment, Engineering and Health.

Focus

There’s no point having an unlimited horizon if you don’t know where you want to go.
After completing the exploration stage, you will be deepening your knowledge in your chosen degree. The challenges you will experience are designed to develop the competencies specific to this degree program.

But, if you think focusing means abandoning the activities you enjoy, don’t worry. The LiFE ecosystem inspires you to continue discovering and enhancing your talents.

Specialization

During the last third of your degree program, after exploration and focus and having participated in the Tec Weeks, you will have a clearer idea of what connects with your passions, interests and plans.

This stage offers a broad horizon. You can choose a concentration from your or any other degree and will study one or up to two Tec Semesters, which are total-immersion spaces in a local organization, in another state or country, in order to develop the relevant competencies for this stage. These semesters can be related to internships, research stays, business incubation, among other options.

In this way, not only will you graduate from your chosen degree, but also, at Tec, you will obtain diplomas corresponding to your specialization.

YOU WON’T JUST BE COMING TO TEC, YOU’LL BE LIVING THE TEC EXPERIENCE

A memorable university experience

At Tec, we know that in order to become everything you want to be in the future, you first have to be everything you can be in the present.

Living the Tec experience means joining a global, open, multicultural community that will transform the way you see the world.

It means leaving your mark on sports fields and courts, stages, in the community and the world, through innumerable experiences that will turn you into someone who might surprise you.

It means doing what you are passionate about, making decisions, seeking balance and knowing that you belong to something bigger.
