Our academic approach

The Universidade Europeia's Academic Model, which is student-centered and based on experiential learning, promotes students' interaction with teachers and their peers, enabling them to engage in active learning through problem-solving in real-life scenarios, critical thinking and reflection.

This approach provides an educational experience that allows students to learn by "doing", "being", "thinking" and "living ", acquiring the knowledge, skills and competences that will promote their maximum employability in a globalized world, through integrated learning within a holistic vision of the professions.

In addition to an advanced technological infrastructure, Universidade Europeia's teaching staff play a decisive role in the Academic Model, in order to respond effectively to the needs of the professional world and trends in Higher Education. This is only possible due to the different academic, research and professional experience of the teaching team.

Universidade Europeia's Academic Model applies a set of innovative and distinctive learning scenarios:

Challenge-based learning

Students interact with professional and interprofessional contexts, co-creating innovation plans as well as other outputs for partner organizations.

Problem-based learning

Students have the opportunity to learn by analyzing and solving practical cases, diagnosing and proposing solutions to real professional problems.

Simulation-based learning

By learning in simulated environments, it is possible for students to learn experientially, in a safe and controlled environment, skills that guarantee an approximation to situations representative of the current job market.

Research-based learning

It seeks to prepare students to write scientific papers and reports, using the scientific method in all its stages.

The role of the teacher in the Academic Model is to accompany the student throughout their journey, while promoting and participating in their personal and professional development. In the classroom, the teacher will guide you through the different learning methodologies that make up each pillar of the teaching method, guaranteeing the development of skills and values that are part of our vision of a globalized world.

Therefore, in order to respond to society's current needs, Universidade Europeia's Academic Model focuses primarily on the student and, centered on Experiential Learning, is based on six educational dimensions.

Simulated environments

We provide our students with learning moments in safe environments, where trial and error is possible, with different levels of complexity and fidelity, guaranteeing maximum proximity to the real world and links with the professional world. Students will be in contact with real situations, putting them to the test with projects and challenges.

Professional environments

We have around 300 agreements with companies for internships and other educational activities to get closer to the profession, which encourage learning and provide continuous updating of the skills needed in the current and future job market.

Integrated curriculum

We try to integrate knowledge and skills from other areas of activity, interrelating concepts and bringing us closer to the reality of the professional world. The student will have the opportunity to work on various concepts and subjects in the same project.

Transdisciplinarity

We provide training involving various disciplines in different environments, thus enriching the training experience and preparing students for the reality of the professions, where interprofessional collaboration becomes an essential value.

Data and research-based approach

Continuous research and critical thinking are present in our Academic Model so that students can develop their research hypotheses. In a post-digital transformation era, the student will systematically analyze the information that is produced and will be able to make decisions in complex situations, based on a data-driven approach. At Universidade Europeia, we encourage entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity.

One World

We prepare students to be the best professionals in their field of study not only through superior academic training, but also by forming global and responsible citizens. Education with values of respect, ethics and responsibility permeates our model across the board, so that our students are committed to sustainability and aware of diversity at all levels.

Through this model, students will have access to weekly virtual classes, which they can watch live or access later. In these classes, teachers will share the content, and students will have the opportunity to be able to actively participate.
