Aim of the Tecnun Foundation Program
Within the Foundation Program at the University of Navarra, Tecnun, the UN Engineering School, offers a training program and syllabus with the following aims in mind:
01
Foundation studies in Mathematics
Steadily gain a level in Mathematics corresponding to the 1st year of a degree course. The Calculus part of the Mathematics subject will be based over a year’s study rather than a term. This will ensure learning is more efficient.
Personalised learning when studying Calculus in a very small group, with close monitoring of students.
02
Gradual learning of basic concepts and Spanish
As subjects are distributed over the 1st year of Engineering in 2 years, basic engineering concepts will be better assimilated.
Concepts will be assimilated at the same time as advances are made in Spanish.
03
Improving student guidance towards different areas of engineering
With the help of the advisor assigned to the student, they will be guided towards the engineering degree that best suits their profile. Guidance will be complemented by the student’s participation in practical activities undertaken at Tecnun during the second semester of the academic year.
04
Getting into the habit of working and scientific study techniques
Gradually getting into the habit of working intensively as required of engineering studies.
Validations
Calculus, Economics and Statistics correspond to the 1st year (Calculus, Economics and Business Studies, Statistics) on any engineering degree course at the University of Navarra and are therefore validated.
Students who have gained the 18 ECTs corresponding to the aforementioned subjects will study for the remaining 42 ECTs during the second year, in order to complete the 60 ECTs from the 1st year.
