History

[edit]

TECH Global University was founded in 2015 by a team of top professionals and academics in the field of university education in Europe. Its digital nature has oriented its educational proposal towards a completely online environment, using an innovative and effective methodology that moves away from traditional paradigms.[2]

The institution is organized as an international cluster of private digital universities, focused on continuing and postgraduate education. This cluster is led by Tech Education Rights & Technologies SL, a Spanish-owned technology company.[3]

TECH's parent company was recognized by Financial Times as one of the 200 fastest growing companies in Europe in 2017 and 2018.[4]

In February 2019, the university entered into a strategic agreement with Harvard Business Publishing, becoming the first online university to incorporate Harvard Business School Cases into its academic offerings.[5]

In February 2022, TECH signed a multi-year agreement with the National Basketball Association, becoming the official online university of the NBA.[6]

In 2023, TECH was named Google Partner Premier, a distinction awarded to 3% of the world's companies.[7]

TECH is currently an official university in Spain,[8] Andorra,[9] Mexico,[10] Venezuela[11] and Costa Rica.[12]

Methodology

[edit]

TECH Global University uses the Relearning system as a learning methodology, which is based on the directed reiteration of key concepts. It is a learning system repeated over time, self-managed by the student and directed by a professional teacher, with the objective of helping the student overcome the forgetting curve established by the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus.[2]

Relearning is combined with the Harvard Business School Cases after having reached an agreement with Harvard Business Publishing to incorporate this material, along with other teaching resources, including online simulations, technical notes and current business articles.[5]
