What makes a T.I.M.E. experience unique?

In T.I.M.E. we share the awareness that the learning process is a highly non-linear one both in cultures and in duration. In other words: by being exposed to two cultures, a person gets more than the sum of both of them two years abroad enrich much more than twice one year  Learning and skill outcomes

 Taking more advantages from differences than similarities in engineering education  A genuine opportunity to adapt to other countries

Why to hire a T.I.M.E. Graduate?

Deeper engineering training An approach to problems froms different points of view The ability and confidence in adapting to any environment and challenge A significant cultural and linguistic background

What next?

A new member from each country of the enlargement More Extra-European members, starting from South-American Institutions The development and promotion of T.I.M.E. Masters
