Do You Know What Makes Us Unique?
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.
Tec challenges you
Our challenge-based educational model develops the competencies that will enable you to face up to the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century creatively and strategically.
With an education that will accompany you throughout your life, our aim is for you to be aware of the needs of the environment, acquire a systemic vision of problems and develop the capacity to solve them.
Right from the first semester, you will be participating in activities to develop your capacity to identify opportunities, find resources, take risks and recover from failure.
In addition, the model empowers you to make more decisions about your university studies as you progress, in order to develop a unique profile.
What is a challenge?
A challenge is an opportunity to learn something new and reinforce what you already know. To solve it, you need to apply yourself, investigate and interact in the “real world”. You won’t be on your own: you will have a set of personal and technological resources and tools, as well as the advice of faculty who will accompany you throughout the process. Its resolution implies a certain degree of difficulty and a duration that will awaken your interest and enthusiasm and produce a sense of achievement.

Meaningful Learning
-
Have you ever wondered why you so quickly forget what your professor taught you and why you remember other information so clearly? The reason is that, in the first case, the knowledge wasn’t set in your long-term memory.
Learning, remembering and being able to apply afterwards in another context is easier when you are motivated and learn in a real context. Every academic or personal development challenge in which you engage will form part of your collection of meaningful learning. At Tec, this is part of your learning design and we can measure it in the best possible way.
-
Tec Weeks, An Intensive Moment For Your Integral Growth
-
Every semester will be interspersed with Tec Weeks, specifically aimed at developing your transversal competencies, also known as competencies “for life”. In addition, during Week 18, you will receive feedback on your progress in their development. This reflection will allow you to adjust your goals.
Without doubt: knowing yourself, taking responsibility for your areas of improvement, facing new, diverse challenges will lead to your growth.

You Used To Choose A Degree, Now You Choose A Path
With the Educational Model Tec21, you will graduate not only with a degree and diplomas, but also a range of competencies –developed along the way– aligned with your professional and life plans.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ACCOMPANIMENT MODEL
To live the Tec experience, it is important for all students to have a guide and orientation that will lead them to academic success and physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and professional wellbeing. The purpose of this accompaniment is to help students identify their intellectual, creative and leadership talents, through studying, sports, culture and entrepreneurship, to transform them into agents of change who will create, innovate and transform society.
In our accompaniment model, all students have a student success mentor, who will act as their guide in aspects of wellbeing, talent development, professional growth and transversal competency development. During the first year, students will be mentored by one of their peers from higher semesters, being part of a student community throughout the student experience. Moreover, an academic advisor will accompany students in making decisions on their curriculum, specialized academic matters and disciplinary competency development.
