Study Progression
What is a 3rd year?
Following the logic of the motto ‘learning by doing’, ETIC_Algarve has established protocols with six schools, one national and five international, which allow you to pursue internationally recognised advanced level certified studies.
Upon completion of ETIC_Algarve’s two-year technical courses, you will be able to obtain internationally recognised qualifications through a one-year programme known as the third year.
The progression of studies is a third academic year during which you will develop advanced skills and take an important step towards obtaining a recognised qualification.
This third year of the curriculum encourages talent, creativity, entrepreneurship and proximity to the job market, allowing students to develop creative thinking skills for professional challenges.
