Brief Profile of the Education Provider |
The ASOMI College of Sciences is based on the experience of an educational model that combines the effectiveness of the training developed within the academic context. Our goal is to provide innovative educational models that can develop effective results and grant quality to students, professionals and people who have decided to implement their education, building a learning environment in which they become the protagonists of the learning experience. Our vision is to increase synergies, which take resources from decades of experience, results on the field, and academic partnerships and accreditations such as the one with a renowned British institution, the Swansea University. The ACS project addresses its educational offer at national and international level by developing academic partnerships able to provide opportunities for the enrichment of its students. The lecturers and mentors, involved in the projects and educational activities, have acquired an important professional reputation and will make their expertise available to learners. In fact, in each academic path, professionals of recognised value and ability will take part as lecturers and through a blended education model (residential in-house and e-learning). We will provide a product that is intended to be pragmatic and grounded, but also aware of the importance of innovation. |
