Who we are
In other words, Florida Universitària covers all educational stages as we firmly believe in lifelong learning. Through Florida’s Entrepreneurial Education model, we train proactive professionals, with the technical and social skills for employment, who feel professionally fulfilled, who learn experientially and enjoy learning and training throughout their lives.
Pedagogical Model
It is a dynamic and innovative centre, which promotes the development of entrepreneurial attitudes among its students with the object of facilitating their integration into the professional world. Furthermore, it is focused on the creation of knowledge by bridging theory and practice and also, on cooperative enterprising.
Florida Universtària is committed to cooperation, commitment to students and learning by doing. At a time when everything is so changing, the way of teaching had to do it too. For this reason, at Florida Universitària, we have created our own educational model, based on the values of our own cooperative essence, we call this model «CoopLearning».
