  • Which one is the best admissions method for me, the Pre University Study Center or the Admissions Exam?

    It depends on your needs. The benefit of the Pre University Study Center is that it not only prepares you for admittance to UTEC; it also helps your professional development for the oncoming 5 years of your career. The UTEC Prep Course is known for using the same methodology as an undergraduate career: active learning and holistic training. Active learning consists in developing research and practical application work to grow the theoretical knowledge, while strengthening talent and ingenuity. Students of the UTEC Prep Course develop a technology project the same way they would do as undergraduate students. As a part of their holistic training, students will take humanities, management, communications, and language courses, in order to develop critical thinking and be trained as comprehensive professionals. On the other hand, if you choose the Admissions Exam, your preparation is more flexible. You can choose between studying by yourself or enrolling in an academy of your choice. There are not only two methods of admission to UTEC, but six so you can choose the one that fits you better. Learn more about them here.
