Our learning methodology

We have our own methodology, which goes beyond conventional training.

We have our own methodology, which goes beyond conventional training and is designed so that the students are the central characters of transformative learning challenges and experiences. The methodology is designed for students to acquire the skills necessary for their personal and professional development.

What are our key learning elements?

EMPOWERING PROFESSIONALS

Improve our students’ employability.

We design training programmes linked to reality through meaningful learning experiences. We make students live in the classroom what they will find in their workplace. Through Learning-by-doing, professional competences are developed in order to allow students to carry out their own professional task successfully.

 

CHALLENGE-BASED LEARNING

Knowledge transfer to the workplace.

Our courses are challenge-based and student-centred. We focus on applicability; on how to obtain lifelong continuous improvement. We also provide the necessary tools to ensure knowledge transfer to the workplace.

 

FOCUS ON SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Provide comprehensive training.

Our students use and develop skills within the classroom when they encounter unfamiliar or challenging situations. These competences will help them to draw and build on what they know, what they think and what they do.

 

LEARNING RESOURCE

More than contents

We provide up-to-date information and different resources in multiple formats to enrich and adapt the learning experience.

What are the key factors of a learning context?

  • TECHNOLOGY

    Nowadays, technology is a critical element and digital transformation is essential for all. Technology on our programmes involves a broad range of communication, information and other related tools that can be used to support learning, teaching and assessment.

  • SERVICES

    We are located in the 22@ district; an innovative space that welcomes the most technologically advanced companies and universities and that hosts cutting-edge research centres and continuing education institutions. An urban environment created to respond to the knowledge society’s challenges.

  • NETWORKED COMMUNITY

    Our programmes have a virtual environment that provides opportunities to keep connected. Through this online environment, students have access to learning spaces (virtual classrooms) in which they can interact with teaching staff, academic coordinators and their classmates.

    We are part of the University of Barcelona, which occupies a very competitive position on the Catalan, national, European and worldwide University rankings rankings. Our teaching staff combines university teachers and professional experts contributing to a better learning experience.
