Transformational learning

that focuses on personal and professional development, is fully integrated with research and addresses societal challenges

Our objective is to achieve a learning process oriented towards the development of people who seek to transform society, based on a culture of effort and the promotion of lifelong learning. We will promote teaching that is aligned with our excellence in research, based on inter- and multidisciplinarity, with a high degree of flexibility and focused on employability through connections with the socio-economic environment.

Strategic axes

Proposals

2.1.

To provide students with a lifewide, interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary education that develops critical and committed thinking and enables them to thrive in a complex and pluralistic society in need of people who contribute to the common good

2.2.

To promote active and flexible learning by using innovative and studentcentred didactic methodologies

2.3.

To have a catalogue of degrees with greater curricular flexibility, interdisciplinarity, cross-curricularity and orientation towards internationalization

2.4.

To promote a range of academic programmes that, guided by our excellent research and its relevance to the demands of society, provides students with the practical and intellectual skills they need to succeed in their professional field

2.5.

To establish the UGR as a benchmark for continuing education and training through a teaching ecosystem that addresses the needs of lifelong learning

Developing equality through training

Transformative learning should promote equality and respect for diversity as a response to one of society's greatest challenges. This requires university education that addresses gender equality, respect for sexual, gender and bodily diversity, and the empowerment of women and girls. It is important to make these subjects into transversal competences not just by incorporating them into the design of curricula and course guides, but also by implementing training activities with a feminist and gender perspective that enable lifelong learning.

Future milestones

To ensure that around 50% of the teaching and research staff (PDI) have engaged in teaching innovation and training activities.
To significantly improve the UGR's graduate employment rate to around the average of the Spanish university system by 2031 (in 2020 the UGR was below the Spanish average).
To ensure that at least 50% of bachelor's degree graduates have completed work placements as part of their training.
To bring the student dropout rate to at least below 20% (in the academic year 2020/2021 it was 27.71%).
To increase the number of double degrees or international joint master's degree programmes by 25% (the UGR had 17 in the academic year 2020/2021).
To ensure that 20% of all doctoral theses are defended as cotutelle theses (5.1% in the academic year 2020/2021), 75 receive an "International Doctorate" Mention (41.67% in the academic year 2020/2021) and up to 5% receive an "Industrial Doctorate" Mention (0.5% in the academic year 2020/2021).
