What won't change after Covid?

  • The quality of the learning experience: certified by the School’s history, its spot in academic rankings and recognition from professionals, businesses and institutions from the sector.
  • Skill-based training using active methods focused on the student and the learning process needed to acquire professional skills.
  • The talent mix among faculty. An appropriate balance of professors combining profiles based on academics and research with professional profiles based on experience. Professors use these skills to transmit applied knowledge and the reality of the sector.
  • An in-person/digital/outdoor mix: the School promotes experiences for learning beyond the physical classroom, with master classes or online group work in virtual classrooms, project-based work using collaborative online tools, the Virtual Campus, visits to businesses from the sector, professional classrooms with real cases for students to analyse, participation in activities at collaborating entities and social organizations, etc.
  • The availability of wide spaces and the choice of morning or afternoon schedules allow us to guarantee in-person formats that meet with any potential safety and hygiene regulations without renouncing person-to-person contact in the classroom between students and professors.

What might change after COVID?

For as long as is strictly necessary, in keeping with the instructions of the University and health officials and with up-to-date information:

  • Classroom seating capacity and distribution of students.
  • Broader schedules for morning and evening classes.
  • Postponement or modification of exterior formats (visits, learning-service, internships…)
  • A slight increase in remote teaching and online activities on the Virtual Campus.

In case of new health emergencies, the School can transfer to a 100% distance-learning format in 24 hours.
