Tiradentes University (Unit) has promoted a review of its course catalog and restructured its teaching methodologies and formats. The main objective is to satisfy the distinct profiles of students while maintaining the standard of academic excellence and quality.
This new approach was designed considering the specificities of each course and the demands of the students. Furthermore, the change reflects the latest guidelines established by the Ministry of Education (MEC) for higher education.
Within Unit, the modernization of the pedagogical model incorporates Project-Based Learning (PBL). This methodology aims to bring theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom closer to the real situations and challenges faced in the professional environment.
Recognizing that university experience is crucial for professional training, the in-person undergraduate program at Tiradentes University (Unit) combines classroom lectures, practical activities, academic interaction, and direct contact with professors and colleagues, offering a trajectory that transcends mere disciplinary content.
To accommodate various student profiles, Unit provides flexibility, technological support, and academic monitoring throughout the formative journey. In this model, the student gains the freedom to manage their studies according to their routine, accessing materials and tasks through digital platforms.
The blended learning format stands out as an important differential for those seeking greater autonomy in daily organization without giving up interaction with teachers, colleagues, and the practical moments essential for professional development. This is an unprecedented format implemented by Unit, allowing part of the content to be followed digitally, facilitating the reconciliation between studies, work, and personal life.
The quality of the blended undergraduate degree is equated to the in-person one, as it uses the same laboratories and professors; the student studies three days in person and two days online. Registrations are already open, with evaluation criteria being the Enem score or a simplified process that includes essay analysis.
In Sergipe, the new blended format is available in several courses and campuses of Unit. At the Farolândia Campus, courses in Gastronomy, Pedagogy, and Occupational Therapy are offered. At the Estância Campus, available courses include Physical Education, Pedagogy, Social Work, and Occupational Therapy. The Itabaiana Campus also offers Physical Education, Pedagogy, Social Work, and Occupational Therapy, as does the Propriá Campus, which offers Physical Education, Pedagogy, and Occupational Therapy.
This variety of offerings and locations expands opportunities for individuals who wish to enroll in an undergraduate degree and seek a format compatible with their routine.
