With more than 6,000 top-level international professors in every area of knowledge, TECH Global University continues its path of expansion and global development, consolidating its position as the world’s largest online university
The famous American writer William Arthur Ward used to say that “teaching is more than imparting knowledge; it is inspiring change.” This is a statement that today, with online education, makes more sense than ever and for which the role of the teacher is key. It is exactly on this principle that the educational mission of TECH Global University, the world’s largest online university according to Forbes, is based, which has made teaching excellence its introduction letter.
Several studies highlight that teacher quality is one of the most influential factors in academic success. According to a recent UNESCO report, “the experience and commitment of teachers are essential to improving educational outcomes.” Furthermore, an article published by The Chronicle of Higher Education points out that teachers with international experience not only bring advanced technical knowledge, but also enrich students’ cultural perspectives, preparing them for a globalized world.
It is in this context that what is now the world’s best online university, TECH Global University, has earned the label of the “online Harvard.” This is not only because of its high academic quality, supported by the 99% employability rate it guarantees to its students, but also due to its extensive and comprehensive investment of having the best international teaching staff on the current university scene.
TECH Global University, also awarded with the Google Premier Partner badge, has international teachers specialized in each area of study it teaches. This is a transforming vision that seeks to “bring closer and diversify university education to make it accessible in all corners of the world,” according to Manuel Sánchez-Cascado de Fuentes, CEO of the TECH Education Group.
This diversity not only guarantees a rich and multifaceted education, but also “fosters a learning environment that transcends borders, allowing students to obtain a global and up-to-date vision of their respective disciplines,” says Sánchez-Cascado. This is a milestone that has allowed the university to grow unstoppably over the last decade, also boasting a rating of 4.9 out of 5 after more than 2,500 reviews on the well-known rating website Trustpilot, famous for validating the veracity of each of the opinions expressed.
