    Experiential Learning

    Our model goes beyond theory and focuses on learning by doing. It does not create professions, but rather professionals with concerns.

    OUR EDUCATIONAL MODEL

    At Universidad Europea, we are committed to an education that prepares you for the needs of the professional world. Thanks to our methodology, you will be able to gain the knowledge, skills, abilities and competences that provide maximum employability in a global world.

    Experiential learning

    The student learns by doing; there is no learning without action.

    MU Big Data Analytics MBI online aprendizaje 2

    Meaningful learning

    The teacher relates the knowledge, skills and previous experiences to the interests, expectations and cognitive characteristics of the students.

    Collaborative learning

    The students "learn together", so they are motivated not just by their own learning, but to increase the achievements of others, forming a social and academic learning experience.

    Professional learning

    The teacher acts as an advisor and as a guide of the learning towards a professional application.

    Constructive and discovery learning

    The student inquires and explores to understand the concepts. This allows you to build cognitive structures by comparing, relating and reorganising new concepts with those you have already dealt with.

    Autonomous learning

    The teacher encourages the students to learn for themselves, developing self-learning. The student is seen as an active and cooperative agent, a protagonist in the construction of his or her own learning.

    Individualised learning

    The teacher is sensitive to the diversity and different learning styles of the students, adjusting the training activities to suit their needs.

    Creative learning

    The development of creativity and initiative allows knowledge to be perceived as open, unfinished, something which can always be redefined and understood from other points of view.
