Studying at the European University of Technology (EUt+) is a transformative experience for all students and learners. It equips them with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing them to thrive in a complex and ever-evolving world. By earning a degree from EUt+, students gain:
The European degrees form the foundation of EUt+, with harmonization gradually being implemented at all academic levels—Bachelor, Master, and PhD—across various disciplines such as Networks and Telecommunications, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Information Systems, Sustainable Development, and Architecture.
A key element of EUt+ is its commitment to integrating Humanities and Social Sciences within technological programs. This interdisciplinary approach aligns with the university’s core values, ensuring that students develop a broad perspective rather than treating these fields as separate subjects. By embedding these studies into our curricula, we foster a more comprehensive and holistic education across all our campuses.
1_ Embedded mobility
Happens when one or more substantial periods of mobility is structure to obtain a degree and that the curriculum is inherently delocalised.
2_ Multilingualism
Is the ability to meet others in their own language and when international exchanges are not reduced to a single lingua franca, opening up the richness of the deep diversity of languages and cultures.
3_ Innovative pedagogies
Is the decisive shift towards socio-constructivist, student-centered pedagogies, with all professors having a deep knowledge of the didactics of their fields, team-working to apply the most effective methods.
4_ Academic rigour
Refers to professors having a comprehensive and extensive knowledge and a deep and critical reflection to teach and expect from their students to a high demand.
5_ Modularisation and flexibility
Is the possibility for courses to be chosen (or not) in different moments, by students of different programmes, without overall constraints, only because they fit pedagogically in the individual paths.
6_ Civic engagement
Discards the concept of elitism confined to an «Ivory Tower» and holds that there is no relevant science without conscience.
7_ Self-customization of study track
Is the possibility for all students to choose their own course track to fulfill the learning outcomes required for their desired degree.
8_ Student-centered learning
Implies no longer being interested in the teacher’s delivery, but in what the student will ultimately be able to achieve as a learning outcome. The programmes are delivered in a way that encourages students to take an active role in creating the learning process, and that the assessment of students reflects this approach.
9_ Interdisciplinarity
Gives students the awareness that complex problems require a synergy of very different disciplines to be tackled, and the competence to do so.
10_ Exposure / engagement with research
Means raising students’ awareness of research methods and results in various ways according to their level and ambitions.
11_ Alignment with future labour market
Needs enable students to be very flexible and anticipatory in a job market and competence expectation that will change dramatically in the coming decades.
12_ Challenge-based experiential learning
Involves learning by nearly constantly immersing students in a conducive, stimulating, visionary environment to solve real-world challenges.
The EUt+ Pedagogical Framework represents a comprehensive, collaborative effort to redefine higher education across the European University of Technology (EUt+) alliance. Based on research, innovation, and European values, the framework responds to the evolving demands of the 21st-century global economy by promoting a modern, student-centered educational approach.
The vision of the EUt+ Pedagogical Framework is to establish a transformative model of higher education that is student-centered, innovative, collaborative, and sustainable. By leveraging advanced technology, fostering interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, and emphasizing real-world applications linked with industry, EUt+ aspires to shape the future of technology education in Europe.
This framework is designed to meet global demands for emerging leaders of technological change who will work in multi- and cross-disciplinary teams reflecting European values. We envision a dynamic, inclusive, and adaptive learning environment that not only addresses the evolving needs of students and society but also empowers future leaders to tackle global challenges with competence and creativity.
The mission of the EUt+ Pedagogical Framework is to deliver a comprehensive and holistic educational experience that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and competences necessary to thrive in the complexities of the modern world. We are committed to creating innovative teaching environments that enhance the educational experience.
Our focus includes developing European curricula that feature competencies in technology for human science degrees and sustainability for engineering. To meet evolving demands, our research and pedagogy is expected to adapt through ongoing dialogue with society.
Our pedagogy aims to equip students with future-proof skills, including professional, transversal, and soft skills, essential for tackling digital and green transitions. We strive to cultivate graduate attributes such as global citizenship, engagement, self-awareness, lifelong learning, and professional development. By teaming up with non-academic stakeholders, we aim to accelerate the transfer of research to society.
Education and Mobility, representing the two main vertical pillars alongside Research and Research-oriented education, are directly connected to the objectives of the European Universities Initiative and the European Higher Education strategy (European Commission, 2020b).
