By Research via Distance Learning
Study Method
Our education model is based on andragogy: an innovative method, specifically aimed at enhancing adult learning beyond formal recognition and traditional study programs. Coming from the Greek words andros (adult man) and ago (to lead), andragogy is based on the individual’s specific identity and activity, aiming at self-realization and favoring the acquisition of skills through experience.
Terra Nova University is part of the international group Uniselinus Educational, the first distance learning institution that has managed, with this new educational method, to improve student satisfaction levels as shown by international accreditation and quality certification agencies. By implementing this system, learning is no longer a linear process, bound by predefined standards set by a government authority, but a whole new educational paradigm, based on asynchrony and autonomy, which has been scientifically proven to improve speed and efficiency when absorbing new knowledge.
All of our programs are provided via distance learning, ensuring a high-quality education that is flexible and adjusted to the specific needs of students, allowing them to achieve their academic, social, and professional goals without any hindrance to their family and work commitments.
