Tec Model: Tec challenges you
Our educational model develops skills that will allow you to face current and future challenges.
It is challenging. Through challenging experiences, promote your ability to solve problems and visualize opportunities. Forge in you the character to lead and undertake, as well as the resilience to persevere, in addition to enhancing your integral development and your commitment to build a better world.
It is flexible in what, how, when and where you learn. Our model empowers you from the beginning so that you are the one who traces your path and builds your own graduation profile, aligning what you need with what you are interested in learning and preparing yourself for the challenges of the environment.
¿Qué es un reto?
Es una oportunidad para aprender algo nuevo y afianzar lo que ya sabes resolviendo una problemática dada. Para ello requieres esforzarte, analizar, investigar e interactuar con el mundo real. No lo concretas solo: cuentas con un conjunto de recursos y herramientas personales, de equipo y tecnológicas, así como con el acompañamiento de profesores y socios formadores durante el proceso. Su resolución implica un cierto grado de dificultad y una duración que despierta el interés, entusiasma y provoca tu sentido de logro.
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.
What are the characteristics of Tec-educated leaders?
At Tecnológico de Monterrey, we have defined, after consulting leaders from diverse sectors and employers, seven competencies that all our students should possess. Regardless of which degree you are studying, the educational model anticipates that you will develop them through diverse challenges, courses and activities related to your university experience.
They are:
- Self-knowledge and management
- Innovative entrepreneurship
- Social intelligence
- Commitment to ethics and citizenship
- Reasoning for complexity
- Communication
- Digital transformation
These seven competencies, together with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values related to the area of Health Sciences and your degree, will be your letter of introduction and your passport in the professional world.
Step-by-step record of your learning
While you are at university, you will keep a record in your competency file of the degree of progress you have made and the supporting evidence. Taking responsibility for creating this file will, from this very moment, be extremely useful when you join the workforce.
The three stages of the model
Acquire the basic knowledge of your area and face challenges to reinforce this knowledge.
Develop the competencies relevant to your degree through more focused courses and challenges.
Give a personal touch to your degree program through specialization within or outside your discipline.

The more you can do, the more you can give
Reinventing wellness
This area has evolved at lightning speed over the past few years, increasing, for example, the use of robotics in surgery, introducing preventive medicine and incorporating more bionic technology in our bodies.
Moreover, trends go beyond the crucial task of alleviating and improving people’s quality of life, with one of the priorities being what is known as delayed aging: tools and services that seek to help us feel better for longer and delay the aging process.
All of these transformations imply challenges, opportunities and, of course, new professional profiles. On entering this area, students will have a holistic vision of human beings and seek to have a positive impact on their wellbeing.
