Educational model
The UTPL’s model is underpinned by practicums, conceived as a transversal axis of the university curriculum which revolves around three basic functions: teaching, research and consulting. Much of this is made in research incubators or Research, Technology Transfer and Consulting Centers, where teachers and students work on real projects.
In September of 2007, the UTPL adopted an academic model based on the European System of Credit Transfer and Accumulation (ECTS), which assesses the student’s workload, in order to achieve the objectives of an academic program which are reflected in learning achievements and acquired competences.
