METHODOLOGY
Learning by doing
The unique and innovative methodology of TAI Arts University generates a unique experience in each student, where the projects are the central axis of learning. Future artists and creatives learn by doing through the current practice of the different professions in their discipline.
The contents and the subjects are not approached as isolated from one another; Instead, they are related to each other with the aim of developing competencies and skills required in the job market. It is an experiential type of learning, always tutored by specialist teachers who, in addition to being active professionals, bring the reality of the industry into the classroom.
Interarts
Hands-on exercises and projects, of progressive difficulty, allow students to experience the different roles and specialties of each artistic discipline thanks to a job rotation system. Thus, each student, in addition to leading and creating their own project, takes on tasks and responsibilities in the projects of their peers, which allows them to strengthen teamwork and experience the complete functioning of a professional production.
Only at TAI Do projects go even further and consider an interdisciplinary dimension. Students from different specialties are encouraged to live and work together, generating a space for coming together and establishing lasting collaborations for the future.
Connected with the industry
The programs are geared towards employability, entrepreneurship, and future opportunities. They have been developed in direct connection with the current context of the industry and the new jobs, both nationally and internationally. The contents are approached from innovation and a multidisciplinary approach, favoring the development of the most sought-after competencies and skills.
At the end of their training, each student puts all of their work in a portfolio, the best business card for any professional in the arts.
