Regarding the training processes, the Institutional Educational Model establishes three fundamental axes:

  • Consider the student as the center of the training task; recognizing the characteristics that are specific to it (from admission to graduation), qualifying and certifying the degree/profession, identifying the curricular areas of the training process (general training, specialty and professional practices-linked to professional practice), formulating Training Plans study based on the graduation profile, formulating study programs based on learning results/achievements and evaluating said learning.
  • Assume the comprehensive training of students, considering the development of the professional future as a person in university life and as a citizen in values ​​and culture with social responsibility.
  • Propose that the student becomes a responsible and active agent of his own training developing processes of self-learning and research.

The Institutional Educational Model also refers to the implementation of teaching resources and devices necessary for the development of teaching and learning, with special emphasis on students demonstrating mastery of infocommunication technologies and ethical and socially responsible behavior, both declared as ULS Training Seal Competencies.
