The ATHENA educational model opens the doors of higher education institutions to the society addressing not only our regular students and our alumni but also all those occasional learners willing to advance their knowledge, their skills and competences, for some reason.
We offer inclusive education, in the sense that we have developed, and keep developing, innovative higher education approaches that provide all our learners the environment and the resources they need to succeed in higher education on a digital era.
This broad reach and unique flexibility is achieved through a combination of innovative models (such as Competence Custers), paradigms (such as BlendEd), services (such as the Language Café) and tools (such as Praxis).
