Study Progression

In line with the motto “learning by doing”, ETIC_Algarve is now taking another step forward in the development of its training provision. Study Progression is now being incorporated into the school’s programme through Specialisation Courses, which function as an optional third year for students who complete the two-year Technical Courses. This new stage allows students to deepen their skills, strengthen their academic and professional development, and continue their training with a qualification of greater value.

The Specialisation Courses are one-year programmes that complement the two-year Technical Courses, enabling students to consolidate advanced technical knowledge, undertake more challenging projects and strengthen their portfolios. This is a strategic continuation of the training programme, designed for students who wish to stand out in the creative industries market, pursue further studies and enhance their career path with an internationally recognised qualification.

Upon completion of this course, students will be eligible to obtain a British International Certificate, recognised and validated by Teesside University, which acknowledges the third year of study completed at ETIC_Algarve and grants an equivalence corresponding to the third year of the British higher education system (Level 6 – 120 ECTS credits) The certification obtained at ETIC_Algarve is awarded within the framework of the British education system.
ETIC_Algarve is not a higher education institution.

The Study Progression programme is designed for graduates who wish to continue investing in their education, develop their skills further and gain a qualification that sets them apart.
By adding a year of specialisation to the technical course, this stage helps students prepare more effectively for the real-world challenges of the job market and broadens their horizons in an increasingly global professional environment, enhancing each graduate’s academic and professional profile.
