PROJECT
Scientific, Cultural and Pedagogical Project
ISVOUGA is a private higher education institution of a polytechnic nature that, through the range of courses it offers and the research it promotes, aims to contribute significantly to the economic and social development of the region in which it is located.
With an offer particularly aimed at contributing to business growth, ISVOUGA aims to promote teaching-learning focused on creating and reinforcing its students’ technical and personal skills.
The orientation adopted, after the introduction of the Bologna model (2007/08 academic year), through the methodologies employed, envisages that the knowledge to be achieved, both in a more theoretical aspect and in another of a technical nature, will be achieved by so that fundamental transversal skills are simultaneously worked on and reinforced by students. Project work or work with a strong experimental component are, so to speak, recurring work tools, thus encouraging considerable levels of autonomy on the part of students in this process.
